The mayor of Somalia's capital Mogadishu, who was a former Labour councillor, has died after being wounded in a suicide attack that killed at least six other people last week.
The female bomber blew herself up inside the office of Mayor Abdirahman Omar Osman during a security meeting.
The mayor passed away from his injuries in Doha, Qatar, where he was receiving treatment.
Militant Islamist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack.
Its apparent target was the new UN special envoy to Somalia, James Swan, a US citizen.
Mr Swan had already left the building after meeting the mayor on 24 July.
It is unclear how the bomber managed to enter the heavily guarded building.
Other victims included high-ranking local officials.
Who was the mayor?
Osman fled Somalia in the early 1990s and went on to earn a master's degree and UK citizenship, and served as a Labour councillor in London.
He later returned to Somalia in an effort to help re-build his war-torn homeland and served as information minister before becoming mayor of Mogadishu last year.
In a tweet, the US mission to Somalia called Osman "an excellent partner and tireless advocate for the people of Mogadishu and all Somalis".
Al-Shabab seeks to overthrow Somalia's central government and has been carrying out regular attacks in Mogadishu, despite the heavy presence of African Union peacekeepers and US-trained Somali troops.
The group is affiliated with al-Qaeda and remains a powerful presence in rural Somalia.
