Mogadishu: A suspected bomb blast killed five women outside a busy market in the Somali capital Mogadishu on Tuesday, witnesses said.
Residents said an explosive device appeared to have been detonated when city cleaners were burning 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 witness Hawa Ibrahim.
"It was an ugly scene with blood everywhere. I could not count the dead, I just glanced at once and ran away for my life," said Hawa Jama, another witness.
