At least 20 were killed and more than 40 were wounded when armed gunmen stormed an upscale hotel in Somalia. The attacks were claimed by Al Shabab, an Al-Qaeda-linked militant group that’s been terrorizing the region for more than 15 years with the goal of establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state. The assault began late Friday when two car bombs were detonated outside the Hayat Hotel. The siege lasted well over 24 hours. (Clarification: An earlier version of this report featured a map of Somalia as the video thumbnail. This map did not include the disputed territory in the north, which Somalia claims as its own but Somaliland claims as an autonomous region. This image has been replaced.)

It's a spiritual war
Mind blowing stuff
I just booked an all inclusive their for me and the family for a lovely holiday ….NOT
#Nbc tv why are doing this, this is not somali mop,
Yknow, total eradication of religious folk like these is the best possible solution. No more free speech. People dont get to speak hate. Preach Hate. Free speech is a sham.
Isn't Ilian Omar Al Shabaab? Is Al Shabaab the Somalian IRS?
Hillsdale
Republican Party is greatest threat to humanity
NBC you clearly got the map of Somalia very wrong. Please revise !
lol….upscale hotel in Somalia??
And Ilhan Omar
Wow. I forgot these things happen else where. All the terror attacks I've gotten used to come from some right wing gun nut opening fire into a crowd. Or going full GTA the an fbi building
Looked like a missile hit that place.
The fact that five al-Shabaab fighters could not be removed from a hotel within 30 hours shows the weakness of the government forces.
Fighting somebody else's war for 3 decades makes no sense to family of the dead and wounded.
They are evils😡😡😡
Omar should try and restore peace in the region. This might make sissy James happy.
SEND OMAR TO HELP STOP THESE ATTACKS.
I have recordings to send to them.
palantir and swat teams better security.
This happens in Chicago every weekend
If you want peace then you got to go to heaven for it😉
Leave it to the religion of peace to pull this kind of crap.
The “religion of peace” strikes again, as it always has, for the last 500+ years.
Who goes to Somalia to rent a hotel? It’s a war torn country
