Why are terrorists around the world still able to execute large-scale attacks?

The recent bomb blast, which was detonated at the entrance of the Safari Hotel in Somalia, was deplorable to say the least. Somalia is known for high levels of poverty and undernourishment. This attack is unacceptable and the motives behind this gruesome crime should be investigated by the government. As ever, the perpetrators must be brought to justice. Somalia is already a poor country and this attack will undoubtedly take a heavy toll on a nation struggling to get by. The Al Shabab terrorist group has staged countless attacks over the years, but given the mass scale of this attack, authorities should ensure they find out who the real culprits are. I pray for the victims’ families and for those injured in this cowardly attack.
