At least five dead after gunmen storm beachfront Elite Hotel in Somalia capital Mogadishu
At least five people have been killed when gunmen stormed an upscale beachfront hotel in Somalia's capital following a car bomb blast outside, in an attack reminiscent of others carried out by Al Shabaab militants.
"There is still sporadic gunfire and the initial information we have received indicates five people died and more than 10 others were wounded. The death toll can increase because the blast was massive and there is a hostage situation involved," government security official Ahmed Omar told AFP.Police spokesman Sadik Ali confirmed there had been an explosion, adding: "We shall update you later.".
