At least seven people were killed and
several others wounded after a car
bomb exploded near a marketplace in
Somalia ’s capital Mogadishu on
Thursday , a city official said .
The blast occurred alongside a densely
populated road near Hamarweyne
market, an area where bombings
claimed by the Islamist Shabaab
insurgency have previously occurred .
“ The blast was caused by a luxurious
car loaded with explosives, which was
detonated at a civilian, densely -
populated area , and seven people were
killed and several others wounded ,”
city administration spokesman
Abdifatah Omar Halane told reporters.
A witness to the blast , Ismail Ali ,
described the explosive - laden car
detonating in the middle of the road as
it was moving .
“ 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 ,” said
Abdinasir Mohamed , another witness
who gave a slightly higher death toll
that authorities did not confirm.
The Al - Qaeda affiliated Shabaab have
been fighting to overthrow the
internationally backed government in
Somalia since 2007 and have
repeatedly attacked civilian and
military targets with gunmen and
suicide bombers .
