The explosion which carried out by the militant rebel group of Al-Shabaab hit government soldiers who were involving in security mission conducted on the main Industry Road in west of Mogadishu.

The latest attack came day after Hezbul Islam group was confirmed to have joined with the most radical group of Al-Shabaab following long standing political and military conflict between the two oppositions.

The Hezbul Islam’s unification with the Al-Qaeda inspired group Al-Shabaab seems to be mounting more anxiety on the Somalia government which control very few land in the capital.

According to the local residents, 4 of the government soldiers died on the spot while 6 others wounded. Two civilians were reported to have died in that attack.

Some reports suggest the explosion was suicide attack used for a car loaded with explosives.

After the deadly attack, the soldiers sealed off the area and began investigation but no one was arrested for the attack.

For the ten months, the rebel insurgents have been constantly attacking the military bases of the government and African Union troops on the main Industry Road.
