Attack at Ambassador Hotel in Mogadishu |
2007-02-07 |
![]() The attackers were riding a Toyota automobile when they fired two RPGs at the hotel exploding outside of the gate causing no injury. The assailants then escaped unharmed. There is no immediate casualty from the latest attack and no one has claimed the responsibility. TonightÂ’s attack came hours after a mortar round has slammed near the presidential palace in Mogadishu causing no casualty. It was the first day light attack at the presidentÂ’s house since the arrival of the transitional government in Mogadishu late December last year. Hotel Ambassador, which is among the largest privately owned hotels in the capital, houses several government officials. Shortly after the incident, security forces cordoned all roads leading to the hotel. |
