國際英語資訊:Two killed in suicide car bombing in Somali capital

A suicide car bomber killed two people and injured four others on Sunday evening in the Somali capital Mogadishu, a local official said.

Bondhere District Commissioner Qasim Abdullahi told reporters at the scene that the suicide bomber detonated his car outside an eatery near the Daljirka Dahsoon Monument in Bondhere district.

Daljirka Dahsoon is "a popular place for people in the evening", said Abdullahi.

Police and witnesses said there was a huge blast, sparking panic.

"We heard a heavy blast near Daljirka. Everybody was running around and we learned it was a car explosion," witness Hassan Shire told Xinhua.

No group has yet claimed responsibility, but Somalia-based Islamist group Al-Shabaab carries out frequent attacks in the country, many of them in Mogadishu.
