Mogadisho is the most beautiful and the biggest somali town, it even has a seaside hotels with a blue swimming pools so one qarax doesn't reach the whole city who is very save.
two of the three foreingers that have been killed were south africans so I think some thing has to do with this too.
The positive side of the attack is that the govt will get more world political support.
"The Security Council underlines that terrorist acts in Somalia will not lessen the Council's resolve to support Somalia's transition to peace and stability," said Grant. "Furthermore, the members of the Security Council reiterate their willingness to take action against those whose behavior threatens peace, stability or security of Somalia."
UN envoy to Somalia, Nicholas Kay, who was not hurt in the attack, told the BBC the world body would continue its mission in helping Somalia build peace and development.
He said Somalia had "turned a corner" after decades of conflict, and al-Shabab attacks like the one of Wednesday were "acts of desperation".
"At this stage our firm intent is to stick to the mission and not abandon Somalia," he said.
The raid was also condemned by the 15-member UN Security Council, which reiterated its "determination to combat all forms of terrorism".
The UN Security Council on Wednesday voiced its outrage by the attack on a UN compound in Mogadishu, Somalia, which killed at least 15 people.
Mark Lyall Grant, the permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the UN who holds the rotating council presidency for June, said in a statement that the members of the Security Council reiterate their determination to combat all forms of terrorism..
"Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivation, wherever and whenever and by whomsoever committed," Grant said.
Suicide bombers attacked the UN's office in Mogadishu on Wednesday, leaving at least 15 people dead, including eight working for the UN. The al-Qaida linked militant Al-Shabaab group said it was behind the assault.
In the statement, the Council members extended their condolences to the victims and their families, as well as to the people and the government of Somalia, and underlined the support for all UN personnel working to bring peace, stability and prosperity to the Somali people.
Meanwhile, the Council reminded states that they must ensure that measures taken to combat terrorism comply with all their obligations under international law, in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law, Grant said.

"At this stage our firm intent is to stick to the mission and not abandon Somalia," he said.
He added that one UNDP international staff member, three contractors working for a South African company and four Somali guards were killed in the attack.
All seven al-Shabab gunmen died in the raid and officials said pro-government forces later secured the compound.
The UN has only recently expanded its operations in Mogadishu after years when its Somalia mission was based in neighbouring Kenya because of security fears.
The UNDP office is next to the heavily fortified airport in southern Mogadishu.
Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid praised the speed of the security forces' response.
"Somali and Amisom security forces responded immediately to the situation after the initial explosion and have brought the situation under control. Sadly we must wait to hear the full details and confirmation of any casualties," he said in a statement.
"All our thoughts and prayers are with our UN colleagues today. But al-Shabab will not derail the peace process. They will not stop our recovery. Violence will not win."
Al-Shabab, which had been in control of parts of Mogadishu for more than two years, withdrew in August 2011 under pressure from pro-government forces, but continues to launch occasional suicide attacks in the city.
It has also been pushed out of other cities, but still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside in central and southern Somalia.
The improving security situation has prompted the return of Somalis from the diaspora and allowed UN agencies and foreign embassies to return to the country.
Some 18,000 AU troops are in the country supporting the government of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud who was elected by MPs last September.
His administration is the first one in more than two decades to be recognised by the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
