Abdifatah Omar, the spokesman for Mogadishu municipal council said, “The blast was a car bomb that was parked here, at this small restaurant.”
The bomb was detonated by remote control as dozens of people were dining inside the restaurant, according to RT.
A police officer told DPA that non-government soldiers were harmed in the attack, but a witness said all the dead and wounded were civilians.
No group has so far claimed responsibility behind the attack.
