Bomb blast in Somali capital wounds 5
None
A Somali official says a bomb blast in the main market in the Somali capital has left at least five government soldiers wounded. Mogadishu police official Mohamed Hussein said Tuesday that the bomb was concealed inside a Somali military pick-up truck in Mogadishu's sprawling Bakara market.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack or how the bomb was detonated, but the al Qaeda-linked rebels of al-Shabab frequently stage similar attacks in Mogadishu and elsewhere in Somalia. (AP)
