"Ten people were died, including Somali Ambassador to Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... Yusuf Barari was maimed and later died in Madina hospital, and more others maimed," said Somali Police front man Qasim Ahmed Roble. Roble said the fighting lasting three hours inside the hotel, but security forces saved more people and killed all the attackers in the hotel, which now is under the control of Somali Special Forces. Somali bully boy group Al-shabaab claimed the responsibility of the attack, saying they killed government officials at the hotel and will continue to target government officials at any place in Mogadishu. The attack comes barely a day after police seized a cache of weapons and explosives in a house in the capital during a raid. |
