Witnesses told HOL that the attackers travelling in a car sprayed bullets on another car carrying the Turkish men in Taleh, an area in the heart of Mogadishu. Three Somalis were also killed in the attack.
No group has immediately claimed the responsibility for the attack; however suspicions fall on the Al-Qaeda linked militant group in Somalia which earlier threatened attacks against Turkish nationals in Somalia, accusing the Turkish government of backing Somali government.
Turkey is a major ally for Somalia as it became the first foreign administrations to resume formal diplomatic relations with Somalia after the civil war.
The Turkish government also continues to undertake major projects in Somalia in a bid to jump-start the Somali economy shattered by the decades old conflict.
