David Cameron is the Target: Shabaab suicide bombers to launch series of attacks in time with David Cameron conference

19.02.2012

Somalia's al-Qaeda-partnered Islamist insurgents vowed to launch a "series of suicide bombings" to coincide with David Cameron's London conference on the war-torn country this week.

The warning, from senior al-Shabaab leaders and repeated on the militants' Twitter page, came after seven Somali officers were injured when a car-bomb exploded at a police station in Mogadishu, the capital.

"The explosion was the beginning of a series of suicide and bombing attacks that mujahedeen fighters plan to carry out in Mogadishu in the coming days," Sheikh Abdulaziz Abu Musab, an al-Shabaab spokesman, said.
