At least three soldiers were killed and ten others wounded in a blast at a busy livestock market in Somalia on Wednesday, a security officer said.

The blast, the latest in a string of attacks in the war-torn Horn of Africa nation, took place in the busy Afgoye district, some 30 km (20 miles) south of the capital Mogadishu, a local radio said.

No group has so far claimed the attack but the Al-Qaeda linked Shebab, which is fighting to overthrow the internationally backed government frequently sets off bombs.
