Most of the victims were government soldiers.
At least 10 other people were injured in an explosion after a minivan that was packed with explosives crashed into a restaurant and blew up.
Al-Shabaab rebels took responsibility for the attack which killed 15 security officials.
On last week, attacks were also carried out on Somalia's presidential palace. At least 12 died, which included both government officials and attackers.
The president however, was unharmed.
The USA has designated this organization as a terrorist organization, due to their other attacks on countries such as Uganda and Kenya that resulted in the death of dozens.
Death in any form is unfortunate, particularly when innocent lives are taken.
To think that this happens on a more consistent basis is completely ridiculous to me.
Whether or not they wanted to kill the president, they harmed dozens of other people in the process.
Completely unaware of the attackers intentions they had no opportunity to escape it, and that I feel is the saddest part of it all.
