Car bomb kills 11 in Somalia

A car bomb near a police station in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, killed 11 people and wounded 16 more on Saturday, local officials said. "The whole market is ruined and people perished. The death toll is sure to rise," said police Colonel Abdikadir Farah. Though no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, this sort of violence is typical of al Shabaab, an Islamic extremist group that seeks to overthrow the Somali government. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud recently visited a university in the neighborhood where the bomb exploded.
