A suicide bomber has seriously wounded a senior official in the autonomous Somali region of Puntland.
Reports say the governor of Nugal province, Abdisalan Hassan Hirsi, and a former regional police commissioner, Farah Galangole, was attacked by a man wearing a suicide vest who approached their car in the Puntland capital of Garowe.
The two men are receiving treatment in hospital.
The al-Shabab Islamist group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which is a comparatively rare occurrence in Garowe.
