AMMAN — Jordan on Saturday condemned the deadly terrorist attack on a popular park near a hotel in Somalia’s Mogadishu.

Government Spokesperson Mohammad Momani voiced the Kingdom’s rejection of such terror acts, through which terrorist groups aim at undermining the security and stability of the world, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Momani urged the international community to intensify efforts to eradicate terrorism.

The attack on Friday next to a busy park and a hotel in the capital killed at least 14, while 30 others were injured, police said on Saturday, according to Reuters.

Al Shabab militants claimed responsibility for the attack. The government said a truck bomb was detonated near the entrance to the park and close to the Somali Youth League Hotel.
