Somali security forces said on Thursday they have killed 12 senior fighters of al-Shabab, a terror group, in a sting operation conducted in Mogadishu.
Witnesses said they heard a huge blast at Mogadishu's Fagah junction.
The attack started on Sunday afternoon after the militants detonated a car bomb that ripped off the hotel's gates before storming inside the facility.
The blasts came as the police tightened the security of the capital blocking the main roads of the city to ward off possible attacks by the militants.
