Islamic militants from al-Shabaab have killed at least 28 people in an attack on a hotel in Somalia?s capital, Mogadishu.
Police said the attackers rammed a car bomb into the gates of the Dayah hotel shortly after 8am on Wednesday before storming inside.
It has repeatedly attacked high-profile targets in Mogadishu and elsewhere in an attempt to derail ongoing presidential polls.
But security experts in Mogadishu said that police, security guards and soldiers had prevented the militants from penetrating the hotel building itself, though a fierce firefight took place outside.
An attempt by the militant group to bring down a passenger jet on takeoff from Mogadishu airport failed last year.
