At least 39 killed, 50 injured in Mogadishu car blast
It is the deadliest attack since the election of President Mohamed Abdullahi 'Farmajo' Mohamed.
The vehicle exploded on Sunday at a crowded intersection.
Al-Shabab, the armed anti-government group, did not claim responsibility for the attack, but it came on the same day as it threatened to wage "vicious war" against Farmajo and his new government, the report quoted the SITE intelligence group as saying.
Farmajo described the attack as "horrific" on Twitter and shared pictures of himself visiting victims in hospital.
Local media reported the president had offered a $100,000 reward for information on who carried out the deadly bombing.
