Suicide car bomber kills two victims in Mogadishu
2011-10-18
A suicide car bomb blew up near a government building in Mogadishu on Tuesday, killing at least three people. Somali police officer Mohamed Adam said, "A suicide car bomber blew up in front of a building that houses the ministry of foreign affairs and the planning ministry."

It was the second such attack in the capital this month.

Shopkeeper Farah Hussein said he saw three bodies, including one which seemed to be the suicide bomber. Hussein said, "I see three dead people including the suicide car bomber who is totally burned and ripped apart. Among the dead is a person who was selling items on a wheelbarrow and a pedestrian. The street is busy and always full of traffic. Fortunately there weren't many pedestrians at that moment."

Ambulances evacuated the injured and government forces fired in the air to disperse the crowd which had gathered in the area.
