MOGADISHU: The death toll from twin car bombings in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, claimed by Al-Shabaab Islamists, has risen to 100, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said on Sunday, drawing condemnation from the East African country's international allies.

'So far, the number of people who died has reached 100 and 300 are wounded, and the number for both the death and wounded continues to increase,' he said after visiting the blast site.
