A CAR bomb exploded outside a busy restaurant at lunchtime today in Somalia’s capital, killing at least 16 people. 

A video posted online by the Aamin Ambulance Service, which describes itself as the first and only free ambulance service in Mogadishu, showed rescue workers racing towards the restaurant and escorting 17 injured people away from the scene. 

Today’s explosion was the seventh attack in eight days and so far no group has claimed responsibility for it.
