青年黨激進分子星期六襲擊了索馬里議會。他們引爆炸彈並開槍射擊，造成至少18人死亡，其中包括一些襲擊者。

Police spokesman Kasim Ahmed Roble told VOA Somali Service 10 security officers with Somali forces and AMISOM were among those killed during the attack on the heavily-fortified building in Mogadishu. He said 14 security personnel were wounded, along with four lawmakers.

目擊者說，議員們當時在大樓裏開會，這時一枚汽車炸彈在入口附近爆炸。然後穿着自殺式背心的襲擊者製造了更多的爆炸聲和槍聲。隨後的槍戰持續了數個小時。
