A Somali police officer says a suicide car bomber has detonated explosives outside a Turkish hospital in Mogadishu killing at least one person and himself and wounding three others.
Mohammed Abdi said on Saturday the bomber drove a mini-van laden with explosives which he detonated at the Al-Shifa hospital.
No group claimed immediate responsibility for the attack but suspicions are likely to fall on al-Shabab insurgents who have been carrying out guerilla attacks since African Union troops expelled them from the capital in August 2011
Al-Shabab, which has links with al-Qaida, has long been threatening Turkish workers and aid agencies in Somalia accusing them of spreading secularism in Somalia.
