The 2011 Mogadishu bombing occurred on 4 October 2011, when a suicide bomber drove a truck into the gate of the Transitional Federal Government's ministerial complex in Mogadishu, Somalia. The resulting explosion killed 100[1] people and injured over 110 others.[2] Al-Shabaab, an Islamist group, claimed responsibility for the attack.[3] The attack is reported to be the largest since Al-Shabaab launched an insurgency in Somalia in early 2007.[4][5] It also follows the withdrawal of Al-Shabaab's forces from the area in August after an AMISOM intervention to bring aid to the country during a season of drought.
