(14 Oct 2017) A huge explosion from a truck bomb killed at least 20 people in Somalia's capital, police said Saturday, as shaken residents called it the most powerful blast they'd heard in years.
A local journalist who gave an interview to The Associated Press via Skype described the panic at the scene.
Mo Dahir said he had seen several bodies on the ground.
A second blast forced everyone in the vicinity to move away quickly.
The explosion appeared to target a hotel on a busy road in Hodan district and at least 15 people were injured, police Capt. Mohamed Hussein said.
Security forces had been trailing the truck after it raised suspicions, he said.
Police said people were trapped in the rubble of the Safari Hotel, which was largely destroyed in the explosion.
The hotel is close to Somalia's foreign ministry.
Rescue workers were at the scene.
