Mogadishu Hotel Attack Leaves 15 Dead, 25 Wounded
17:37 GMT 25.06.2016 (Updated: 18:00 GMT 25.06.2016) At least 15 people were killed and 25 were wounded in a terrorist attack at a Somali hotel in the nation’s capital Mogadishu, according to local police.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A terrorist attack at a Somali hotel in the nation’s capital Mogadishu killed at least 15 people and wounded 25 others, local police said Saturday.
Most of those killed and wounded were passers-by and customers of nearby stores, the CNN news channel cited police colonel Mohamed Abdulkadir as saying.
A senior police official said fighting is continuing inside the Naso-Hablod hotel after it was stormed by militants, reportedly belonging to the al-Shabaab Islamist group.
A car bomb was detonated at the gate ahead of the attack. Islamists reportedly took people hostage inside the hotel, which is popular with foreigners and officials.
