Suicide bombing kills at least 9, injures 20 at Somali military base
[UPI] A suicide kaboom killed at least nine people and injured nearly 20 Saturday when the bomb-laden car detonated at the gates of a Somali military base, security officials and witnesses said.

Security officials told Voice of America that eight of the people killed were government soldiers and other casualties were family members of soldiers who were are at the base in the capital of Mogadishu.

"A jacket wallah driving an explosive-laden vehicle sped toward the front gate of the camp but the guards opened fire to stop it before it detonated," police officer Aden Mohammed told VOA.

Hospital officials said that around 20 people were maimed in the blast.
