8 Dead, 14 Injured In Somalia Explosion

No fewer than eight were killed with 14 orders injured after an explosion occurred at a military base in the Somali capital Mogadishu.

It was not yet clear what caused the blast but witnesses told local media a car loaded with explosives attacked the compound near a stadium.

Radio Dalsan said the explosion could be heard across the city.

Islamist militant group Al-Shabab often carries out bombings targeting security forces and government officials.

Earlier this week two security guards were killed after stopping a suicide bomber from entering a restaurant in the capital.
