A huge suicide car bomb in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu has killed at least 29 people, police say. <br /><br /> Dozens of others were also reportedly injured in the blast, which took place next to one of the city’s biggest ports. <br /><br /> The militant group Al Shabab has said it was behind the deadly attack. <br /><br /> The explosion was apparently so big it could be heard across the entire city. <br /><br /> “I came out of the sea port and sat down next to a shop just in front of it and then there was a huge blast from inside the kiosk near the police station. I was very shocked and lay on the ground. I have got a slight injury to my head,’‘ one eyewitness said.<br /><br /> The latest attack comes as Somalia holds parliamentary elections across the country over several weeks. <br /><br /> Al Shabab’s insurgency aims to drive out African Union peacekeepers and topple Somalia’s western-backed government. <br /><br /> The group wants to impose a strict version of Islam on the Horn of Africa state.<br />
