A suicide bomber belonging to the Islamist insurgent group, al-Shabaab, killed at least 10 people on Thursday in central Somalia.

Officials and witnesses said the attack targeted a convoy carrying a senior regional official in the town of Galkayo, 750 kilometres north of the capital, Mogadishu.

A senior police officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said the official and several of his bodyguards were killed.

A witness, Jama Yusuf, said there was blood everywhere, adding that he saw several bodies. He said because the attack occurred very close to a hotel, apparently some of the occupants may have been injured.

Meanwhile, Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack, on its Radio Andalus.

A suicide bomber targeting a vigilante group has killed 10 people in Potiskum, Yobe state, a resident confirms.

“The bomber was targeting members of the hunters association, who have been helping in the fight against Boko Haram in Indiski area Postiskum,” the resident, who declined to be named for security reasons, said.

He also said he counted 10 bodies from the blast. The attack occurred at about 2pm on Monday.

“The hunters suspected that he was on a suicide mission and were trying to apprehend him when he detonated his explosive vest killing those around him instantly,” the source said.

An official of the Red Cross who is involved in rescue activities at the site of the blast declined to give casualty figure.

“We would only know the actual number of casualties after we finish ferrying dead bodies and the injured to the hospital,” he said.
