Al-Shabaab suicide bomber dies in attack on Somalia presidency Neither Hassan Sheikh Mohamed, the president, and Abdi Farah Saaid, the prime minister, were in their offices at the heavily-guarded compound in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. "The operation is part of a renewed campaign of attacks against Western puppets in Somalia, reminding them that the Mujahideen will get into them, whatever security precautions they take," al-Shabaab said in a statement. The group has lost all of its major urban strongholds, including lucrative moneymaking ports. Its foot soldiers are believe to have folded back into local populations, but its commanders are feared to be regrouping in Somalia's northern enclave of Puntland.
