Embassy continues its work in aftermath of car bombing

China has sent a mission to bring home the body of the Chinese embassy security staff member killed in a car bombing in Somalia and dispatched a working group to tackle the aftermath, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.

The suicide bombing at the gate of the Jazeera Palace Hotel in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Sunday killed at least 15 people, including the Chinese embassy staffer in charge of security and safety precautions, and injured three other embassy staff members.

A group of photos believed to feature the scene went viral on China's leading social network Sina Weibo after they were posted on Monday night by a Chinese diplomat.
