MOGADISHU, Somalia (CNN) -- A car packed with explosives sped into a United Nations convoy near Mogadishu airport Wednesday morning, claiming at least four lives in the ensuing explosion, police said.
Three of the dead were civilians; one was a security force member, said Police Col. Mohamed Hassan.
"I saw at least two dead bodies lying in a pool of blood on the ground and police arrived soon at the area and began shooting in the air to disperse the crowds," a witness named Sharma'arke said by phone from the scene.
A plume of black smoke could be seen rising from the airport, which also acts as a staging ground for United Nations operations and for the African Union troops on a peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
Two UN vehicles were damaged, a UN official said, but no UN staff were injured.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
