Two explosions rocked Somalia's internal security ministry in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday morning killing five civilians, a police officer said, in the latest attack claimed by Shabaab militants.
"There were two blasts targeting the internal security compound near parliament," said Ibrahim Mohamed, a police commander.
"We have confirmed five dead and more than ten wounded," he said, adding that four militants had also been killed. Another security official said the attackers included a suicide bomber and three gunmen.
In a statement posted on a jihadist website, the Al-Qaeda aligned Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility.
