Big explosion heard in Somali capital Mogadishu: Reuters witness
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - A big explosion was heard in the heart of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Saturday, with a plume of smoke seen above the scene of blast, a Reuters witness reported.
It was not clear who was responsible for the blast and what exactly had been detonated although Islamist group al Shabaab frequently carries out bombings in the Horn of Africa country.
“The first blast took place at the Ministry of Labor ... there are also other ministry buildings near the scene. It was a suicide car bomb followed by gunfire,” said police officer Major Mohamed Hussein.
