某議員所有の、政府筋に人気のホテルが襲撃されて籠城戦。数時間ほどで解決したそう。ビーチサイドにあるElite Hotelというのだそうで、いやあの、なんでまたそんな、名前だけで反感かうようなネーミングセンスを発揮するんだ…。
BBC Mogadishu attack: Somali troops end deadly siege at Elite Hotel 17 Aug 2020
「The privately-owned Somali news website Dhacdoone described the hotel as one of the most heavily guarded facilities in Mogadishu.」
大変に厳しく警備された場所の一つだったとのことで、そんな場所で人質をとって籠城戦できたこと自体、それなりの成果に数えられることだろう。なにしろあたりに響き渡る轟音をだすほどごっつい車爆弾で初撃をかまし、情報省の高官や国防省の官僚を殺害しおおせたようで―
「Somali special forces say they have ended a siege at a hotel in the capital Mogadishu that was stormed by armed al-Shabab militants.
At least 12 people were killed at the beachside Elite Hotel, in addition to five militants, according to the police.
The attackers detonated a car bomb outside the hotel on Sunday before storming it and seizing hostages.」
「A senior official from the information ministry and another official from the defence ministry are reported to be among the dead, along with three hotel guards. Dozens more people were reported to be wounded.」
ここ最近、どうもal Shababの動きが活発らしい。うん、なんかBBCの個別記事になるレベルでの事件が起きてるかな、という気はする。
「Over the past two months attacks by the jihadist group have increased in the capital.
Last week a shootout between jailed al-Shabab members and security officers at a prison claimed at least 20 lives.」
