A suicide car bomber killed at least 10 people near a police training camp in Somalia's capital Mogadishu today, and the number of dead was likely to rise, police said.

"We saw a speeding car towards us, and it soon exploded. Every place was soon covered with flames and smoke," Hassan Ali, a police officer said.

"I have counted 10 dead people and I am sure there are more dead ones. We cannot get the exact number of dead now. We are busy collecting flesh and people are shocked here."
