A suicide bomber kills 23 people, including three ministers in the Transitional Federal Government, parents, students, professors and journalists who are attending a Banaadir University ceremony at the Hotel Shamow for new graduating doctors. Although it is widely believed that Al-Shabab is behind the crime, the group's spokesman in Mogadishu denies responsibility. The attack is jointly condemned by the UN, the international community and the Somali Government.
