MOGADHISHU, Somalia (AP) -- The United Nations' top humanitarian official made a landmark visit to this battle-scarred capital Saturday, but the trip was disrupted by an explosion that killed four people near the U.N. compound in south Mogadishu.

John Holmes, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, is the highest ranking U.N. official to visit Mogadishu in more than a decade. His tour of the city and his meeting with President Abdullahi Yusuf was delayed briefly by the blast near the compound.

Holmes said he had come to push the government to allow humanitarian aid to reach its people while it tried to build on the fragile peace in a country ravaged by continuous fighting.

"It is their responsibility to look after civilians, to protect civilians and at the very least not to obstruct aid," Holmes said.

The trip comes about two weeks after Somalia's government declared victory over a ferocious Islamic insurgency with the crucial help of troops and helicopter gunships from neighboring Ethiopia and U.S. special forces.

Aid groups say the fighting killed 1,670 people between March 12 and April 26 and sent up to 400,000 of the city's 2 million residents fleeing, many into squalid camps or makeshift shelters in the bush.

When Holmes arrived Saturday morning at the freshly painted blue and white terminal building at Mogadishu airport, armed African Union troops lined the road. As his 10-vehicle convoy of armored land cruisers and pickup trucks drove to the U.N. compound over crumbling roads, women and children waved and yelled from the doorways of buildings battered by fighting and pockmarked with bullet holes.

He said it was not likely that they could bring in more African Union peacekeeping troops until the government improved security.

After the explosion Saturday morning, Mohamed Dheere, a former warlord who is now mayor of Mogadishu, arrived at the U.N. compound and said he had come to assess the security situation.

"Security is a big challenge," said Dheere. "There is no economy, no finances, police don't have a salary, there is no equipment for police, we are starting from scratch. We are very much sorry about what happened (the explosion), but there is no groundwork for peace."

The capital has been mostly calm recently and many of those who fled the violence are starting to return. The government, however, has declared victory before only to have the insurgents reappear weeks later.

The insurgents are linked to the Council of Islamic Courts, which had ruled Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia for six quiet months last year. The U.S. has accused the group of links to al-Qaida, which it has consistently denied.

Holmes, who was appointed in January to replace Jan Egeland, is the highest-ranking U.N. official to visit Mogadishu since the undersecretary-general went in 1993.
