MOGADISHU, Somalia Nov 16, 2014 (Garowe Online)-Car bomb Sunday exploded on Maka Al Mukarama road in Mogadishu, killing immigration officer working at Adan Adde International airport and civilian bystander according to health officials, Garowe Online reports.
Police say, the bomb would have been attached beneath the seat of the airport official who was identified as Mukhtar Dhere.
Mukhtar Dhere was pronounced dead at Daru Shifa hospital after he sustained serious injuries to the lower part of his body, sources disclosed.
Security forces immediately arrived at the site of the blast, cordoning off the road connecting Dabka to Sayidka junction through where the targeted car was tracing.
Suicide bombings have been on increase over the last few days, with at least two lawmakers succumbing to car bomb blasts.
In late October, Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) seized two garages for allegedly being a haven for planned Mogadishu car bomb attacks.
Al Shabaab militants have been defeated on the frontline largely in central and southern Somalia as a result of joint military campaign.
