Somalian Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi survived a suicide vehicle bomb blast that heavily damaged his home Sunday, his spokesman said. A Toyota Land Cruiser loaded with explosives crashed through the security gate of the prime minister's Mogadishu home and exploded, killing six guards and damaging the house that also serves as the prime minister's office, the Associated Press quoted spokesman Abdullahi Odka as saying. He said the prime minister was at home at the time, but he was unhurt. An African Union spokesman said Gedi was taken from the residence to an undisclosed location. Odka said he believed it was the biggest explosion in Mogadishu to date.
