Four people were killed today when a car laden with explosives blew up near the parliament building in the Somali capital, a police official said.

The Somali terror group al-Shabab, which has recently targeted parliamentarians, claimed responsibility.

Capt Mohammed Hussein said the car exploded at a checkpoint where it had been stopped by Somali troops. The dead were soldiers and refugees from an internal refugee camp near the checkpoint, Hussein said.

Troops had ordered the driver of the car out the vehicle for a search when he detonated the explosives, Hussein said. Seven children from the camp were wounded in the attack.
