Deadly car bombing kills seven in Mogadishu
2017-09-29
[Iran Press TV] A boom-mobile has went kaboom! near a marketplace in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, killing at least seven people and wounding several others.

A front man for Mogadishu’s mayor, Abdifatah Omar Halane, said the blast took place alongside a densely-populated road near Hamarweyne market in the capital on Thursday.

"The blast was caused by a luxurious car loaded with explosives, which exploded at a civilian, densely-populated area, and seven people were killed and several others maimed," media outlets quoted the front man as saying.

Abdinasir Mohammed, a witness to the blast, gave a slightly higher corpse count, saying, "There were eight people killed and most of them died in a civilian minibus which was passing by the area where the vehicle went off."
