Aid workers die in Somali blast

Five people including two foreign aid workers have been killed in a blast in the southern Somali port of Kismayo.

Three of the five - a Kenyan doctor, a French logistics expert and a Somali driver - worked for the Dutch branch of aid agency Medicins Sans Frontieres.

A Somali boy and a reporter were also killed by the roadside bomb.

It is not yet clear who was behind the blast but police say they have made one arrest. Fighting between rival clans has increased in Kismayo recently.

Government buildings and Ethiopian troops in the port city have been attacked.
