SOMALIA: A suicide bomber in Mogadishu today targeted young recruits waiting to register at a military camp, killing at least 13 and wounding 21 others.

The capital has faced repeated attacks by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab group, which has waged a deadly insurgency for more than a decade. 

The group frequently targets military and government institutions in its campaign to impose a strict version of Islamic law.
