A Somali bomber that killed 22 people has been identified by his parents through a photograph. The man was born in Somalia but moved to Copenhagen in Denmark and lived there for 20 years. He only recently moved back to Somalia and reportedly joined the hardcore islamist group Al-Shabab who is suspected to have ties to Al-Qaeda. Al-Shabab however, denies the attack was their work. This is strange for them since in their other attacks, they immediately take responsibility. The man bombed a graduation ceremony for doctors, among the dead were 3 ministers, the rest were med students.

BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8406886.stm The Copenhagen Post: http://www.cphpost.dk/news/national/88-national/47713-somalia-suicide-bomber-from-denmark.html

In the Copenhagen Post article, they focus much more on the gruesome facts of what the man did and almost tried to take the readers attention off of how the man was from Copenhagen, thus reducing the negative outlook on the city. The BBC article shows a picture of a man injured in the bombing whereas the Copenhagen Post article shows a picture of two dead bodies.

I believe that immediate action needs to be take in order to stop terrorist activities that will disuade people from becoming doctors, which Somalia desperately needs. Also these bombings are always on government events and land, through this they create a blanket of evilness on these grounds where it seems as though a bombing could occur anywhere at anytime. This fear will ultimately destroy the country and it will become a more impoverished and power struggling country than Sierra Leone.
