The men were dismantling part of the car when the device went off, Major Nur Ahmed told Reuters.

No group immediately claimed responsibility, but al Shabaab militants have launched a string of attacks in Mogadishu and beyond in their bid to impose their brand of Islam.

Somalia has been at war since 1991, when clan-based warlords overthrew dictator Siad Barre and then turned on each other.
