reports:

A small bomb exploded outside a mosque in the Bakara Market section of Mogadishu Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring more than four others.
The mosque is located in an area of the city dominated by al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam fighters.
Al-Shabab and other Islamic insurgent groups control much of Mogadishu along with large parts of southern and central Somalia. The groups are fighting to impose a strict form of sharia, or Islamic law, on the country.
AU peacekeepers from Uganda and Burundi are supporting the government and frequently clash with the insurgents.
War-torn Somalia has not had a stable central government since 1991.
