Four people were killed and five injured when a car loaded with explosives detonated on a busy road in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, police said Wednesday. We offer our condolences to the victims,” Somalia’s deputy police chief Zakia Hussein wrote on Twitter. Abdulkadir Abdirahman Adan, director of the private Aamin Ambulance service, said his team had collected 13 wounded people and one dead body. On March 28m a car bomb ripped through a restaurant, killing 15 people just days after Shabaab gunmen attacked a complex housing government ministries, killing 11 people including the deputy labour minister. But they retain control of large rural swathes of the country and continue to wage a guerrilla war against the authorities.
