MOGADISHU —\u00a0<\/strong>At least 10 people were killed when armed attackers stormed a hotel near the presidential palace in the Somali capital Mogadishu, according to the police.<\/p>\n

Among the victims are two individuals with dual Somali-British citizenship, Mohamed Dahir of the Somali police told dpa. The hotel, which is popular among politicians, was still under siege late on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Somali Minister of Internal Security Ahmed Mohamed Doodishe was injured in the attack, police said.<\/p>\n

The al-Shabaab terrorist militia reported of fighting inside the hotel on their radio station.<\/p>\n

The Mogadishu attack came two days after a large-scale operation by the Somali military in the center of the country in which at least 100 al-Shabaab fighters, including 10 milita leaders, were killed, according to the armed forces.<\/p>\n

Somalia has been a war-torn, barely governed country for decades, largely due to the presence of al-Shabaab.<\/p>\n

For the past several months, the government has been taking military action against the terrorist group, which controls large parts of central Somalia and the south of the country.<\/p>\n

The Somali military, with the support of armed clans and civilians, has recently been able to make major territorial gains against al-Shabaab.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
