Djibouti Produces Names of Suicide Bombers

The Djibouti Attorney General Maki Abdulkadir announced the names of the persons who blew themselves up in Djibouti on 22 May. The Djibouti AG said the two were called Muuse Rooble Hiraab and Hodan Mohamed Issa who both are of Somali origin. The Djibouti government found out from an investigation on these people that they were living with their relatives for two days in Djibouti before they carried out the attack. Therefore, the Djibouti AG said on the coming Thursday, the Djibouti authorities will prosecute in court some of those people whom the bombers were living with prior to the attack.

In that suicide attack, the two suicide bombers and a Turkish man died. Meanwhile more than ten others were wounded. Alshabaab claimed that it was behind the attack. Alshabaab also added that it will continue its activities in Djibouti which they said many foreigners are living in it.
