 Somali suicide blast targets government offices
MOGADISHU 10 Sep (ANA) - A suicide car bomber rammed into a local government office in Somalia's capital Mogadishu causing casualties, a security official said.
Witnesses saw huge clouds of smoke above the city following a loud blast and gunfire.
"A suicide car bomb rammed into the office of Hodan district of Mogadishu. There are casualties but so far we do not have a figure," Major Mohamed Nur, a police officer, told the Reuters news agency on Monday.
Photos from the scene show parts of the wall of Hodan district offices destroyed by the blast.
"A speeding 4x4 car ran into the district office," witness Hussein Osman told Reuters.
"I ran away and now I see from far the office completely destroyed. I see ambulances carrying casualties but I cannot make out how many dead or injured. I could see five people being taken by ambulance." Osman added.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's attack.(ANA)
