An explosion was heard near a
hotel in the centre of Somalia's capital on Friday evening, followed shortly
after by the sound of ambulance sirens as vehicles raced to the area, witnesses
said.
The blast appeared to have
struck near Hotel Maka, which lies on a main road that runs through Mogadishu.
The capital has often been struck by bomb attacks, usually followed by claims
of responsibility from the Islamist militant group al Shabaab.
