Local officials say that a car bombing hit a meat market in central Somalia, killing six people and wounding 14.

Foodey said that authorities believe a government base located near the market that’s the home of an army commander was the intended target.

Somalia’s government last year launched “total war” on al-Shabab, which controls parts of rural central and southern Somalia and makes millions of dollars through “taxation” of residents and extortion of businesses. Somalia has appealed to the U.N Security Council requesting a three month pause in the scheduled withdrawal of African Union peacekeepers, citing the need for its troops to regroup.
