Mogadishu - A suspected bomb blast near a busy Mogadishu market on Tuesday killed five women, the latest victims of Somalia's unceasing violence that has killed more bystanders than combatants.

 

Residents said an explosive device was apparently detonated by the burning of garbage in the city's central Howlwadag area.

 

"Five died. I could not count the wounded. They were all women who were cleaning the streets," said Hawa Ibrahim, a cleaner who witnessed the blast. "We will stop the clean-up exercise. No one is willing to die for cleaning the street."

 

'I could not count the dead'

Businesswoman Hawa Jama described an "ugly scene".

 

"I could not count the dead. I just glanced immediately and ran away for my life," she told Reuters.
