MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A bomb detonated in Mogadishu near the mayor's vehicle convoy Sunday, leaving at least two civilians dead, the mayor said. His bodyguards shot and killed a suspected insurgent who had been in a tree near the explosion.
Mayor Mohamed Dheere was unharmed in the blast, but said several wounded civilians had been taken to a hospital for treatment.
The convoy had been approaching a secondary school in the Somali capital when bodyguards in the first vehicle noticed a suspicious object on the road ahead and stopped, Dheere told reporters.
