A truck bomb has exploded at a busy security checkpoint in Mogadishu, killing at least 73 people.

The attack during rush-hour on Saturday morning was one of the deadliest attacks in the Somali capital in recent memory.

The toll was likely to rise because scores of people were taken to hospital, Ismail Mukhtar, a government spokesman, said.

Mohamed Yusuf, director of Madina hospital, said it had received 73 bodies.

Abdiqadir Abdirahman, the director of the Aamin ambulance service, said more than 50 others had been wounded.
