Demonstrations continue in the Somali capital of Mogadishu after a huge bomb blast claimed the lives of more than 300 people. Hundreds more were injured and many are still missing. The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab appears to be responsible. The truck bomb exploded next to a fuel truck, multiplying the dead and injured. The BBC’s Alastair Leithead reported last week that anger is growing in Mogadishu.
