(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) GCC Secretary General Abdullatif Al-Zayani has condemned the bombing that took place in the Somali capital of Mogadishu Wednesday and targeted a UAE relief convoy, killing and wounding a number of people.
Al-Zayani described in a statement the incident as a "cowardly criminal act", saying "its perpetrators have nothing to do with all Islamic values and humanitarian principles".
"The perpetrators did not hesitate to attack the convoy of aid playing a noble humanitarian role during the days of the blessed month of Ramadan," he lamented.
The GCC expressed condolences to the families of the victims and the government and people of Somalia, wishing those injured speedy recovery, according to the statement.
A suicide bomber reportedly blew himself up when approaching the UAE relief convoy in the Somali capital, but the UAE ambassador in a bullet-proof car was unhurt.
