At least 18 people, including three cabinet ministers, have been killed by a suicide bomb in Somalia.

Three other ministers were seriously injured.

The blast ripped through a hotel in Mogadishu during a graduation ceremony for students.

The BBC's Mohamed Olad Hassan was at the ceremony and was lucky to survive.

New York Times journalist Jeffrey Gettleman is a frequent visitor to Somalia.
