　政府関係者の利用の多いホテルで、そんなところに―予備的攻撃として爆弾二発、それから襲撃、銃撃戦というなかなか調整された攻撃。そこまで用意周到な攻撃、よくもできたものだ―という点でニュースになったものか。

「Somali security forces say they have ended the 12-hour siege of a hotel in the capital Mogadishu by killing all five of the gunmen involved.

Three soldiers were killed and 27 people injured, including three members of parliament and the government spokesperson.

Jihadist group al-Shabab attacked the Syl Hotel, which is popular with government officials on Thursday night.

The Somali government is yet to comment on the ordeal.」

「At least two separate explosions were reported before the militants stormed the hotel.

It is not clear how the gunmen managed to access the hotel which is near the highly guarded presidential palace.」

　大統領官邸にも近いんですわね。
