A roadside bomb killed at least eight women travelling in a minibus in the south of the Somali capital Mogadishu on Sunday, witnesses said. The driver, conductor and two other passengers in the bus survived, escaping with minor injuries, witness Farah Mohamed said. “At least 8 women were killed when a minibus carrying several passengers was blown up by a roadside bomb blast,” she told Reuters, adding that she had seen the bodies, some of them blown to pieces. Police spokesman Abdulahi Ibrahim Omar confirmed the blast but had no further details. “It looked like a remote-controlled bomb that missed its target - a government pickup truck carrying a number of soldiers passed there seconds after,” witness Ahmed Jimale said.
