Journalist, social media activist among 7 people killed in an Al-Shabab attack in southern Somalia
At least seven people were killed on Friday in a suicide bomb and gun attack claimed by Al-Shabaab militants on a hotel in southern Somalia, a security official said.
The attack is the latest in a long line of bombing and assaults claimed by the Al-Qaeda-linked group. Witnesses said among those killed were a well-known social media activist, her husband and a local journalist. "Several gunmen entered and started shooting but the security forces responded quickly and engaged in a gunfight with the terrorists inside the building," he added."There is chaos inside, I saw several dead bodies carried from the scene and people are fleeing from the nearby buildings," Muktar said.
