AMMAN — The government on Sunday condemned the Mogadishu bombings that left hundreds dead and injured, the Jordanian News Agency, Petra, reported. Minister of State for Media Affairs and Communications Mohammad Momani described the bombings as "a cowardly terrorist act" that violates all moral and humanitarian values.

The minister said Jordan stands with the Somali government in its fight against terrorist organisations and fundamentalism that targets innocent people, urging the international community to follow suit. Momani offered the government’s condolences to the Somali government and the victims' families, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

More than 200 people were killed by twin bomb blasts that struck busy junctions in the heart of Somalia's capital Mogadishu, Reuters reported quoting officials. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, although the militant group Al Shabab, which is allied to Al Qaeda, stages regular attacks in the capital and other parts of the country.
