There has been widespread condemnation of a suicide bomb attack in Somalia that killed at least 19 people including four government ministers. The Prime Minister of Somalia, Omar Sharmarke, described it as a vicious and calculated outrage. The African Union condemned the bombing at a graduation ceremony for medical students as inhumane and cowardly. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack in the capital Mogadishu.<br/><br/>Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed described the attack at the Shamo Hotel as a national disaster. He described the victims as dear citizens unjustly assassinated while carrying out their duty to the nation. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement the bombing marred what should have been an event filled with hope for Somalia. A statement signed by the U.N, the U.S, the E.U and the Arab League said the attack would not deter the international community from continuing its support to the Somali government.<br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/>
