Islamist militants stormed a hotel popular with westerners and government officials in the Somali capital on Friday, killing at least seven people, officials and the militants said.
The attack, which appeared well-planned and is still ongoing, began when a suicide bomber detonated a car filled with explosives near the gate of Maka Al-Mukarramah Hotel in Mogadishu, police said.
Explosions and gunfire could be heard inside the hotel after other attackers managed to enter the hotel and possibly take hostages, witnesses told reporters
