At least 18 civilians were killed when a roadside bomb went off on Thursday in Somalia’s Lafole town, southwest of the capital, blowing up a packed mini-bus that was passing by, police said.
“All the 18 people on board the mini-bus are dead and burnt.
A remotely controlled bomb along the road exploded,” said Abidkadir Mohamed, a police officer at the scene.
