Mogadishu: At least three police officers were killed in a suicide blast at a police academy in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, officials said.
Dressed in a police uniform, the attacker blew himself up inside the training camp of the academy early on Thursday, also wounding several officers.
Some of the victims were critically wounded in the attack, authorities said, adding that the death toll may rise.
