Bartamaha (Nairobi):- Somalia’s Information Ministry says an explosion at a house used by insurgents in the Somali capital overnight killed at least 10 al-Shabab militants, including seven foreign fighters.

The statement says the blast, in a southern Mogadishu neighborhood, may have been caused by a premature car bomb explosion. The government said Saturday that three Pakistanis, two Indians, an Afghan and an Algerian were among the dead.

Apart from the government statement there was no other verification of the casualties or circumstances.

Al-Shabab is Somalia’s most dangerous militant group, and officials say that foreign fighters with experience in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts help train its troops.
