MOGADISHU, June 3 (Reuters) – Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi blamed al Qaeda for a suicide bombing that killed seven people outside his home in Mogadishu on Sunday.

"This was a terrorist act by al Qaeda that was meant to create fear among the government and people," Gedi told a local radio station after the blast. "We have been patient for so long. We can no longer cohabit with these terrorists in Mogadishu. We have to eliminate them."
