Description
A suspected suicide bombing near a security checkpoint leading to the presidential palace kills at least six people and wounds 12 others in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. The restaurant where the blast happened and a clinic next door were badly damaged. The city has seen a spate of attacks in recent weeks as Somalia limps through a political crisis caused by long-running disagreements over delayed elections. The election impasse has worried Somalia's international backers, who fear it distracts from the battle against Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group which has been fighting the weak central government for over a decade.
