The New York Times published on 15 March 2024 an article titled "Shabab Gunmen Penetrate Heavy Security to Besiege Hotel in Somalia" by Abdi Latif Dahir.
Five al-Shabaab terrorists stormed a hotel in a highly fortified section of Mogadishu on 14 March and engaged security forces for 12 hours. They killed 3 people and injured 27 before they were killed. The attack is a reminder that al-Shabaab is still able to conduct high profile suicide attacks in the capital.
