The car bomb went off on Saturday evening just outside a hotel in Galkayo where Somali Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Abdihamid Mohamed Dirir held a meeting with officials, according to Jama Hassan Ali, a local police officer.
The commander’s guards were among those killed in the blast. The al-Qaeda-linked militants al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a statement aired by Radio Andalus that supports the group.
