A car bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber at the entrance of Somalia’s traffic police headquarters on Monday morning, a police officer said.
“I have seen blood and flesh everywhere,” Abdinur Ahmed, a policeman, said by phone from the capital, Mogadishu. “There must be casualties.”
Somalia’s government has been battling to defeat an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist insurgency known as al-Shabaab.
