At Least 13 Killed In Somalia Hotel Attack. He said that the majority of the civilians trapped inside the hotel when Al-Shabaab insurgents attacked it with guns and bombs on Friday night had been rescued.
Due to the difficulty of the rescue operation, the siege took a long time, as Duale told AFP. “The security forces will notify any minute that the siege is finished.”
