A car bomb exploded Saturday in Somalia's capital, killing 15 people and wounding 24, a government spokesman said. The car was heading toward headquarters of the African Union Mission in Somalia in late morning when a bomb went off before it reached the building, which is guarded by police, Abdi Gobdon said. The attack also threatened a group of nearby African Union peacekeepers, according to a report of CNN. African Union Commission Chairman Jean Ping condemned the "cowardly and terrorist" suicide attack in Mogadishu, which he said comes during a time of "renewed efforts to further peace and reconciliation" to the troubled nation.
