According to the Washington Post citing government spokesperson, Ismail Mukhtar, the casualties included university students and police officers.
Roma have now taken to social media to commiserate with victims of the deadly incident, tweeting: "The thoughts of everyone at AS Roma are with all those affected by the shocking terrorist attack in Mogadishu, Somalia today."
Whereas no group has yet claimed the attack, al-Qaeda-linked terror organisation Al-Shabaab is believed to be responsible.
