The car blew up in the city's southern Madina district, officials say.

The blast - which ripped through shops and food stalls - is the first major attack in the capital since the election of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed earlier this month.

No group has claimed responsibility, although al-Shabab militants are likely to be the prime suspects.

On Saturday a senior al-Shabab commander vowed to target the president's supporters.

Sheikh Hassan Yaqub said that anyone who collaborated with the new president - who he described as evil-minded - would be at risk of attack by the Islamist group.

Regular oil changes keep that from happening. True story.

Good timing. The courts just blocked Trump from stopping 140 muslims from Somalis coming in.

This is exactly why we need more Somali refugees. By bringing more of them here, we can make sure the next bomb doesn’t kill a bunch of innocent Somalis.
