Al Shabaab gunmen and a suicide car bomber struck a religious centre in central Somalia on Monday, killing a cleric and at least nine of his followers, a police officer said.
“The militants killed 10 people including the cleric, teenagers and women who lived inside the camp,” Police Major Abdirahman Abdullahi said.
“Fighting between security forces and al Shabaab still goes in the centre, the toll may rise,” he added.
Al Shabaab, an Islamist group fighting to topple the Somali government, told Reuters they were responsible for the attack.
