A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives near a convoy of elite Somali troops known as the Alpha Group in the capital, Mogadishu, killing at least four people, a Somali police officer said Sunday. The Shabab militant group claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the group’s Radio Andulus. The Alpha Group troops are part of Somalia’s intelligence forces and often carry out operations against militants in Somalia.
