Description: "04/14/2013: Nine Al Shabab militants assaulted the Supreme Court in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, killing twenty-eight people. Ten national security officers were shot dead outside the court building before the militants entered the premises and killed several others, including two lawyers and a court spokesman. Six of the militants subsequently detonated explosive vests while the other three were killed by security forces. Al Shabab formally took responsibility for the attack in a statement later that day and stated that Mahad Ali Dhore, who they described as a Canadian national, had been among the suicide bombers."
