{{A Somali MP has been killed by a car bomb in the capital, Mogadishu, officials say.}}<\/p>\n

Islamist group al-Shabab told Reporters it was behind the attack on MP Isak Mohamed Rino.<\/p>\n

Another MP, Mohamed Ali, was wounded in the blast, which comes as the government hosts a security conference.<\/p>\n

Pro-government forces have made gains from al-Shabab in recent years but the al-Qaeda-linked group still controls many southern rural areas.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed condemned the car bomb as a “cowardly attack”.<\/p>\n

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Sunday opened a three-day conference, saying the “culture of lawlessness that has plagued Somalia for the last 23 years is coming to an end”.<\/p>\n

Al-Shabab frequently stages attacks in Mogadishu and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Somalia has been ravaged by constant warfare since 1991, when Siad Barre was ousted.<\/p>\n
