The group confirmed last night it had attacked the Syl hotel, a popular gathering place for officials and lawmakers. “The security forces ended the operation. Five people including three civilians and two soldiers died in the attack,” Hussen said.Hussen had said on Tuesday night that 82 people, including several officials, had been rescued from the Syl hotel.
Al Shabaab’s military spokesman Abdiaziz Abu Musab said on Tuesday that the group’s fighters were behind the attack at the hotel compound near the presidential palace.
