MOGADISHU: A car bomb exploded near a hotel and restaurants in Mogadishu on Thursday, killing at least 11 people in a busy area targeted in the past by militants, rescue services said.
The afternoon explosion sent smoke billowing into the sky and destroyed two restaurants and some cars parked in the area.
A Reuters witness counted six dead bodies.
"So far, we carried 11 dead people and 16 others wounded. The death toll may rise," Abdikadir Abdirahman, director of Amin Ambulance service, told Reuters.
Police earlier gave a death toll of eight.
