MOGA DISHU (AFP) - Somali Interior Minister Abdishakur Sheikh Hassan was killed Friday in a suicide attack at his home, apparently carried out by a woman, senior security officials told AFP. "The minister died in hospital," Adan Mohamed said. "The information we have so far indicates that a young woman, the minister's niece, carried out the attack." The statement was confirmed by other security sources, who said the woman had stayed at the minister's Mogadishu home for the last three days.
