MOGADISHU,
Somalia — A car bomb killed at least two people at a restaurant in the
Somali capital Saturday, a police official said.
A
bomb in the car, which was parked outside a small restaurant in
Mogadishu's Shibis district, was detonated by remote control as dozens
of people were dining inside the restaurant, Ahmed Hassam said Saturday.
There
was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but it bears
the hallmarks of Somalia's Islamic extremist rebel group al-Shabab.
Despite being ousted from Mogadishu and neighboring regions of Somalia,
al-Shabab continues to launch guerrilla attacks across the Horn of
Africa country.
