Shabaab has claimed credit for a suicide attack today that killed Somalia's interior minister in his home in a secured area of Mogadishu.
Interior Minister Abdishakur Sheik Hassan was killed after suffering fatal wounds during a bombing at his home in the war-torn Somali capital. A woman believed to be Hassan's niece is thought to have carried out the suicide attack (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110610/ap_on_re_af/af_somalia). If it is confirmed that Hassan's niece carried out the attack, this would be the first suicide bombing carried out by a woman in Somalia.
Hassan, who also served as Somalia's minister for national security, helped coordinate the weak Transitional Federal Government's fight with the African Union against Shabaab.
Shabaab claimed credit (http://www.mareeg.com/fidsan.php?sid=19966&tirsan=3) for the attack, according to Mareeg Online.
