Suicide bomb targets Turkish road construction workers in the outskirts of Mogadishu

A suspected suicide bomb hit an area along Mogadishu-Afgooye road with initial reports indicating Turkish workers constructing the road were targeted.

Sources said there were unconfirmed number of casualties in the Saturday morning attack.
