SOMALIA-UNREST

The site of a major car bomb and gun attack against an intelligence headquarters and detention facility in the center of Mogadishu, which police said left at least seven militants dead on August 31, 2014. Police and witnesses said a car bomb was detonated outside the National Intelligence Center and was followed by a raid by gunmen disguised in national army uniforms -- a style of attack bearing all the hallmarks of the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist Shebab militia. The assault came a day after Somalia's national army and African Union forces said they had captured a Shebab stronghold as part of a joint offensive aimed at capturing key ports from the Islamist fighters and cutting off a key source of revenue for the rebels.
