[G.O.G]

An attack by a car bomb left at least 13 people dead and dozens injured. The incident occurred in a market in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, police sources said.

Local Police commander Abshir Isak confirmed that at least 13 people were killed in the attack, but the death toll could rise.

So far no terrorist group has claimed the attack, although some point to jihadist group Al Shabaab, who threatened to intensify attacks in the country where next Wednesday will be held presidential elections.

The radicals are fighting to overthrow the Federal Government and to establish a Wahhabi Islamic State in Somalia, where it controls large areas of territory in the south and center of the country.
