Two people have been killed at Somalia airport after a suicide bomber drove into the main entrance and explosion ensued. Early reports suggest two people have been killed but locals claim the number is as high as 8.
The airport in Mogadishu is normally under the guard of the African Union peacekeepers and some reports suggest some of the dead are AU soldiers.
One local resident said the car powerfully rammed past the AU control point soon after there were 2 explosions killing 8 people. However AU Military have only confirmed two women begging outside the airport are the only fatalities.
Al-Qaeda group al-Shabab are being blamed for the attack and are currently battling the AU backed Government for control of Mogadishu.
