The Somali Islamist militant group al Shabaab claimed responsibility for a car bomb that killed at least seven people outside Mogadishu Airport on Thursday.
"We targeted a UN convoy," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, Al Shabaab's military operation spokesman, told Reuters news agency, adding that a suicide bomber had carried out the attack.
Musab said "three UN white men" - a reference to foreigners - were killed in the blast along with 13 Somali soldiers who were guarding them. Police said at least seven people died in the blast while another 15 were wounded. A UN official said no UN staff were killed or injured.
