HeadlineJan 26, 2017

In Somalia, two bomb attacks in the capital Mogadishu have killed at least 21 people. Fifty more people were injured in the explosions outside the Dayah Hotel near the Parliament building. Seven journalists were among the wounded. The militant group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Somalia is one of the countries that would be affected by an executive order Trump is expected to sign in the coming days, which is slated to ban all immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 30 days.
