At least four dead in Al-shabaab attack on Somali

TVC NEWS [MOGADISHU] - No less than four individuals were killed on Sunday when Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist militants drove a car stuffed with explosives at the door of a hotel, police and the dissident gathering said.

Sources said blood and bits of tissue were splashed around the site of the impact which focused on the Jazeera inn. The destruction of four autos were adjacent.

Al Shabaab, which said it was behind the impact, every now and again dispatches bomb and weapon assaults in the capital in its bid to topple Somalia's Western-upheld government. The country is attempting to rebuild following two years of contention and disorder.

"It is a response to attacks and helicopter bombing against al Shabaab by AMISOM and the Somali government," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab's military operations spokesman, told Reuters.
