The news agencies have been filing some pictures of the aftermath of this morning’s huge blast in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
The explosion went off near a school and this picture shows the wreckage of a bus alongside other damage to the school’s buildings:
“We counted eight dead people and 17 others including 13 students injured,” the Reuters news agency quotes police spokesman Abdifatah Aden Hassan as saying.
The militant group al-Shabab said it was behind the attack and targeting UN convoy, the Reuters reports.
