A suicide car bombing targeting a Mogadishu hotel by Al Shabab on Thursday killed at least 10 people and destroyed buildings in the Somali capital's busiest street, police said.It took place in a business centre in Maka al Mukaram street, which has hotels, shops and restaurants, Police Major Mohamed Hussein told Reuters. Cars in the street were set ablaze.
"Over 10 people died. A hotel is burning and other buildings were ruined by the blast. Twenty injured people were carried out. We believe more dead bodies are in the ruined buildings," Police Major Abdullahi Ali said.Ali said he did not believe the militants were inside the hotel. "But anything can happen because it is dark in some of the buildings because the blast cut the electric wires," he said.Somalia has been convulsed by lawlessness and violence since 1991.
