Still shots at Mogadishu hotel

At the Ambassador Hotel in Mogadishu Thursday was still sporadic shooting, one night after an attack by the Islamist terrorist group al-Shabaab.

Security forces are now in the building, but the police suspect that terrorists are still on the top floor and on the roof there. Government forces have dropped off near the hotel, but eyewitnesses stated that occasionally sounded still shots and that the building was badly battered. A witness had someone on the fifth floor to hear call for help.
