A car bomb in
Mogadishu's Hamar Weyne District has killed the former trade minister, Mahmud
Abdi Garweyne, and wounded some of his bodyguards.
"The blast,
which was targeted at the former minister's luxury car, was previously thought
to be a suicide bombing. It later became clear that the car detonated as it was
laden with explosives", added the website. The deceased was a member of
the current Somali parliament, reported the source.
regional deputy
security chief, Warsame Muhammad Hasan, confirmed the lawmaker's death to the
website. Business came to a standstill in the area amid heightened
tension. Although no group has so far claimed responsibility for the
blast, al Shabaab is known to carry out such targeted attacks against what it
calls "apostates", in reference to TFG officials.
