Suspected Somali extremists attack restaurant in Mogadishu
The assailants may have taken some hostages inside the Liido Seafood restaurant, which is popular with Mogadishu’s elite and government officials, police said.
“The operation (to dislodge the attackers) is ongoing now. The (attackers) are still inside and fighting our troops,” a spokesman said from the scene of the attack as gunfire rang out in the background.
