Three people have been reportedly killed by gunmen in Somali.
“A security guard and a driver was killed and a female foreigner has been injured after gunmen attacked them,” said police official Abdi Mohamed.
Swedish foreign ministry spokeswoman Lena Tranberg confirmed the woman’s nationality “A Swedish woman was shot in Mogadishu and she is now at an African Union field hospital in Mogadishu. She has been in contact with our ambassador in Nairobi to prepare her medical transfer to Nairobi,” Tranberg said
According to Witnesses, the gunmen were in a car and tried to block the vehicle carrying the woman and her guards.
“The gunmen, who drove a car, opened fire on the car with the white lady inside,” said Shamso Ismail, a witness. “One of her security guards was killed and a driver then they fled after the shooting.”
Mogadishu is rated one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Foreigners usually travel in Mogadishu in armoured vehicles or with armed escorts.
“The white woman was bleeding, they rushed her to hospital, and then the police came and cordoned off the area,” said Muktar Nure, another witness.
No Somali militia group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
