Officials in Mogadishu,
Somalia's capital, say a car bomb has hit a district headquarters, killing at
least six people and injuring 16.
The blast targeted the
headquarters of Hodan district in Mogadishu. Witnesses said the explosion
Monday caused massive destruction to the building.
"The blast was
huge," police officer Ibrahim Mohamed, told the French news agency, AFP.
The al-Shabab militant
group claimed responsibility via their affiliate social media accounts.
It is the second time the
group has targeted a local district headquarters in Mogadishu this month. On
September 2, a suicide car bomb destroyed the headquarters of the neighboring
Hawlwadag district, killing three people.
