Bombs kill at least 17 people in Somali capital Mogadishu
Two car bombs killed at least 17 people in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, police said, two weeks after a huge truck bomb killed hundreds of civilians in the city.
Islamist group al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attacks on Saturday. A suicide car bomb was rammed into a hotel, Nasahablod Two, about 600m from the presidential palace, and then armed militants stormed the building, police said.
A few minutes later, a car bomb exploded near the former parliament house nearby.
Fighting continued to rage inside the hotel after the blast, and police said the death toll was likely to rise.
