Somalia car bomb claims eight lives

A suicide bomber has detonated an explosives-laden car at a police station in Mogadishu, killing at least eight people and wounding 35. 

The car exploded only 10 metres (32 feet) in front of a security gate of a training station for government troops.

Two children were among the dead, an Information Ministry statement said.

No group has claimed responsibility yet, but Islamist insurgent groups have used suicide bombers in the past in an effort to collapse the fragile government
