But, such attacks are often claimed by al Shabab — an al Qaeda — linked group in Somalia.
Somali capital has witnessed a surge of attacks, mainly roadside and suicide bomb explosions, with dozens lost their lives in those attack claimed by al Shabaab.
The insurgents were driven out of the capital Mogadishu in 2011 by Somali national army and African Union forces following joint military operations.
The group has been fighting to topple the internationally-backed government based in Mogadishu for more than a decade.
