MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A car bomb
exploded close to a convoy of United Nations vehicles near Mogadishu's
international airport on Thursday, killing six Somalis on the street,
officials said. Al-Qaida-linked militants claimed responsibility.
A
U.N. vehicle was damaged but said no U.N. staff were injured, said
Nicholas Kay, U.N. representative to Somalia. He said four security
escorts were lightly wounded.
U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack and expressed "deep
condolences" to the families of the Somalis killed and injured, U.N.
spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
"The secretary-general remains
determined to support the Somali government in preventing such attacks
and holding the perpetrators accountable ... (and) reaffirms the
undeterred resolve of the United Nations to support the people and
federal government of Somalia," Nesirky said.
The
U.N. Security Council expressed "outrage" at the attack and reaffirmed
that the explosion and other acts of terrorism would not weaken "their
determination to stand by the people of Somalia as they seek peace and
stability."
Al-Shabab,
Somalia's most lethal militant group claimed responsibility, boasting
that the attack had killed U.N. personnel. Al-Shabab frequently makes
false claims.
The remote controlled blast killed six Somalis and wounded eight, said police Col. Ahmed Hassan Maalin.
The
blast occurred at the city's busy airport junction. The heavily
fortified Mogadishu airport is the base for the U.N., other
international diplomats and African Union forces that help support
Somalia's government.
