A car bomb kills a Somali lawmaker Monday in Mogadishu.
The al Shabaab militant group is claiming responsibility for the attack.
(SOUNDBITE)(Somali) EYEWITNESS, MAHAMED ALI, SAYING:
"I saw four people injured when the explosion happened but they were able to run away from the scene, I was very shocked."
Al Shabaab wants to impose sharia law across Somalia. They have been under increased pressure since African Union troops and Western-backed government soldiers drove them out of the capital last year.
