At least six killed in Somali minibus bombing
At least six people were killed on Sunday, May 31, when a minibus was hit by the blast from a roadside bomb near the Somali capital Mogadishu, police and witnesses said.
The vehicle's passengers, mostly from the same extended family, were travelling from the city to a funeral in a nearby town, when it hit the explosive at Hawa Abdi village, 19 kilometres northwest of Mogadishu.
The road is used frequently by government and security vehicles. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack from any group.
Somalia has been mired in conflict since 1991, when clan warlords overthrew dictator Siad Barre and then turned on each other.
Since 2008, the Somalia’s Takfiri al-Shabab militants has been fighting to overthrow Somalia's central government.
