Suspected al-Shabaab bomb blast in Mogadishu kills 11

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA (BNO NEWS) -- Eleven people were killed on Tuesday when a bomb blast rocked the capital of Somalia, local media reported on Wednesday. Several others were injured.

The attack happened in the Wadajir district of southern Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. The Mareeg news website reported that the explosive device was placed on the road which leads to Jazir village.

Officials confirmed that at least eleven people, all believed to be civilians, were killed in the explosion. An unknown number of other people were wounded in the attack, which Wadajir District Commissioner Ahmed Hassan Ado - who forms part of the Somali transitional federal government - blamed on the Somali rebel group al-Shabaab.

Al-Shabaab is the militant wing of the Somali Council of Islamic Courts which took over most of southern Somalia in the second half of 2006. Despite efforts from the Somali and Ethiopian governments, the group has continued its violent insurgency in southern and central Somalia.

Somalia has been without an effective government since Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown two decades ago.
