"All the 18 individuals on board the smaller than usual transport are dead and smoldered. A remotely controlled bomb along the street blasted," said Abidkadir Mohamed, a cop at the scene.

Nur Ahmed, who was driving along the same street, said the smaller than usual transport was being escorted by a vehicle conveying troops.

An administration truck brimming with troopers took after by the minibus surpassed him at fast before he heard a noisy blast, Ahmed said.

"The administration auto which was most likely the objective got away undamaged," he said.
