Sharjah 24 – AFP: Five people died and six others were wounded Friday when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a restaurant near the presidential palace in central Somalia, police and witnesses said.
The attacker detonated a device inside a tea shop in Bar Bulsho in the capital Mogadishu, Somali police spokesman Sadik Dudishe said.

"All the casualties were people spending time to drink tea," Dudishe said.

The cafe is frequented by members of the Somali security forces as well as civilians.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Friday's attack came barely a day after five civilians were killed and 13 others wounded in a car bombing near a market in central Somalia.
