A car has exploded inside the main market in the Somali capital after a hand grenade was thrown into the vehicle, police have told the BBC.

 

It was carrying police officials, four of whom were wounded, he said.

 

It happened during one of the busiest shopping days, on the eve of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

 

No group has said it carried out the blast but al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab has staged many attacks in Mogadishu since being driven out of the city in 2011.

Forgive the typo guys, apparently I have "Baraka" added to my autocorrect.

Terrible start to Ramadan. These guys don't give a damn.
