Hotel staffers arrested after deadly bombing
2015-02-22
MOGADISHU -- Somalia's intelligence forces arrested 12 staffers for a hotel in connection with deadly double suicide attacks at the hotel that killed 25 people in the Somalia capital on Friday, officials say.
Admit it, you're surprised, aren't you...
Somalia's security minister Abdirisaaq Omar Mohamed told journalists that 12 employees at the Central hotel were arrested on the onset of a long investigation into the bombing that killed many including two legislators, politicians and wounded the country's deputy prime minister.

"They have probably perpetrated and facilitated that terrorist attack on the hotel." he said.

The latest bombing on the hotel frequented by government officials and politicians highlights security challenges facing the weak government which is trying to restore law and order after more than two decades of war.
