Mogadishu, 22 Feb-(ANA)-Insurgents in Somalia have attacked a military base in Mogadishu used by African Union peacekeepers.
The Islamist militant group al-Shabab said two of its members had carried out a suicide car bomb attack on the base.
The AU mission said it was investigating the attack but did not give a casualty figure.
A spokesman for Burundi's military, which contributes to the AU force, said six of its soldiers had been killed, AFP news agency reported.
The 3,500 peacekeepers from Burundi and Uganda are the only foreign troops in Mogadishu since the withdrawal of pro-government Ethiopian troops in January. (ANA)
