The terrorist hit the Italian ice cream shop near the airport. Probably a nice place. Probably hoped he would hit foreigners or Westerners. Happened after Pompeo visited Somalia.

Blast Kills at Least 7 in Mogadishu After US Defense Secretary Visit​

By VOA News
November 28, 2020

A huge blast went off in Mogadishu Friday, killing at least seven people, and wounding 10 others, according to Somali police.

The suicide bomber blew himself up at Gelato Devino, a popular ice cream parlor near the international airport hours after acting U.S. Defense Secretary Christopher Miller made an unannounced visit to the Somali capital.

The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group claimed responsibility for the attack. Al-Shabab frequently carries out attacks in Mogadishu as part of its bid to overthrow the Somali government and impose its strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.
