4 killed in Somalia suicide bombing

A suicide bomber killed at least four people and injured several others yesterday after detonating a car packed with explosives in Mogadishu, Somali security forces said. The district mayor, who was in the building at the time, escaped unharmed, administrative and security sources said. Although the attack was not immediately claimed, the Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab has a history of targeting government buildings in the Somali capital.
