DjiboutiDjibouti authorities suspect that the attack was carried out by two jihadis from Somalia. The restaurant was “filled with Western military personnel.”

“3 killed in explosion at restaurant in Djibouti,” by Mohammed Tawfeeq, CNN, May 24, 2014

(CNN) — An explosion at a restaurant in downtown Djibouti killed three people and injured several more, according to a Ministry of Health official and a doctor at a local hospital.

The two sources, who do not want to be named, confirmed three people died and an unknown number of others were wounded.

The sources do not believe it was a suicide bombing.

The Ministry of Health official confirmed that the restaurant where the attack occurred is La Chaumiere, a popular restaurant among Westerners who visit the small Horn of Africa nation.

Both sources confirmed that foreigners were among the dead, but they would not give specifics on nationalities.

The U.S. Embassy is Djibouti issued an alert to Americans following the attack at the busy restaurant. The alert advises citizens to “exercise heightened security measures.” It also recommends Americans to “limit movements, avoid areas frequented by Westerners, implement additional personal security measures, and review personal crisis response plans.”

    I am reminded of a restaurant popular with American personnel, on the “Perfume River” in Saigon. V.C. set off a homemade claymore directed at the entrance dock, where a bunch of G.I.s were waiting in line. Tactically it was a pretty good strike – in my opinion at the time.

    It was fascinating to read in “The Stars and Stripes” of the “shock” of those in the rear, as they considered the possibility that maybe there was no place safe for an American in Saigon. Those of us who deployed on night ambush found the whole thing hilarious.

    If I wore the uniform ANTWHERE in the world today, I would assume that I was a target, and act accordingly.

    When this is really going to get interesting is when these Jihadi Zombies start blowing up Americans, in America.

    Time may be getting short.

      Exactly! Mohammed murdered his victims in the MARKET at Medina. This is the holy example, the SUNNA of the ‘perfect man’. Which shopping mall will be next?

      I do hope, should that happen, that it’s done before it’s supposed to; that it’s a general failure; that few of our fellow “unbelievers” pay the ultimate price, and that finally, our friends and neighbors will no longer accept the myth, from our corrupt news media, that Islam is a religion of peace which has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists.

      But, I’m thinking they will only come to that conclusion as a result of a significant jihad attack.

      ‘When this is really going to get interesting is when these Jihadi Zombies start blowing up Americans, in America’

      They already did! Remember the Boston bombers? There’s strong evidence that they were connected to jihadi groups in the ‘stans. I’d also be very wary of the Somalis and other ‘refugees’ who go back to their homeland of persecution for ‘vacation’, returning with God knows what kind of ambitions.

    Djibouti population under 1 million, I am sure they can find where the 2 terrorists are. The Westerners should protect themselves, the Somalis are everywhere now and they are into religion of peace.

    This attack wasn’t mentioned on any of the news channels.

      Many such incidents don’t make it to the mainstream Western media due to maintaining public peace of mind. It’s known in the demotic as ‘blowing smoke up your ass’.
