At least eight people including a general were killed on Monday after a car laden with explosives rammed into a cafeteria in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
Bursts of gunfire followed the attack, which targeted the Italian Coffee cafeteria, located near the passport office.
So called terror group Al Shabab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said its targets were police, intelligence, military officials and immigration workers.
Officials claim that a military general Abdi Bashir Aden was among those killed, while 10 others were injured.
