"We have confirmed eight people killed and 16 others maimed in the blast," the private Aamin Ambulance service said.

A second blast on a key road leading to the airport of the Somali capital Mogadishu did not cause any casualties.

The Al-Shabaab group grabbed credit for the attacks saying "they were targeting two checkpoints, one of them along the airport road and (the other) along the road that leads to house of politicians."According to security sources the second explosives-laden car a Toyota Noah, was spotted by security forces at a checkpoint. They opened fire and killed a man in the car, which then went kaboom!. No one was injured in the blast.
