Four killed in Somalia blast during Eid celebrations

At least four people have been killed and 15 others were injured in Somalia when an explosion went off during Eid celebrations.

Witnesses say a crowd had been dancing and singing in Baidoa city when the blast occurred.

It is not yet clear who was behind it. For several years the Islamist militant group al-Shabab controlled Baidoa.

Since 2012, when its fighters were pushed out of the city, the jihadist group has remained active there and has attacked military bases and other targets.
