Three dead in Somalia bomb attack

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 12 Juli 2013 | 21.29

AT least three people have been killed when a car bomb targeting a convoy of African Union troops exploded on a major street in the Somali capital, police say.

"So far three persons are confirmed dead, and three others injured," said police official Ahmed Muktar, who was near the scene of Friday's blast, the latest in a string of explosions in Mogadishu.

"It was a huge explosion, buildings all around were rocked by the blast," said Hussein Gure, a witness who was driving nearby when the car exploded.

"There were several people killed or wounded."

It was not immediately clear if the casualties reported were civilians or from the AU force.

Some reports said the car had been parked when it exploded, others said it was driven by a suicide bomber who rammed into the armoured AU convoy, part of regular patrols carried out by the 17,700-strong force in the country.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents have carried out a series of bombings, attacks and killings aimed to overthrow the internationally-backed government.
