Deadly blast hits Somali capital. .

{From AlJazeera}:

At least four people have been killed in a car-bomb blast near the Somali foreign ministry building in the capital, Mogadishu.
The attack, which wounded 15 others, occurred on Tuesday while Kenya's defence minister, Yusuf Haji, and foreign minister, Moses Wetangula, were meeting Somali officials in the offices of the foreign ministry.
"There was heavy explosion near the foreign affairs ministry building and initial reports are indicating a car laden with explosives detonated," Mohamed Adan, a Somali government official said, on Tuesday.
"It was a car bomb that exploded but we don't know what it was targeting," Ali Abdi Rahman, a witness, told the AFP news agency.
The explosion did not damage the ministry building but did tear down a stone wall in front of it. Hundreds of on-lookers gathered to see the demolished car scattered across the road. Several body parts littered the street, witnesses said.
Abdikarim Sheikh Hussein, a university student in Mogadishu, said he was standing on the other side of the street when the explosion happened. Bloodied textbooks were lying on the ground in the post-explosion ruins.
"When the car blew up a ball of flame and smoke engulfed the whole area, then some wounded people ran through the streets'' he told the Associated Press.
Ambulances evacuated the wounded and government forces fired in the air to disperse a crowd of onlookers.
