SOMALIA: Al-Shabab terrorists kill at least 19 civilians

MOGADISHU: Fighters from the extremist insurgent group Al-Shabab have killed at least 19 civilians in a night-time attack in central Somalia, clan chiefs and local officials said on Saturday.

The attack comes two weeks after Al-Shabab, which has waged a long insurgency against the Somali state, besieged a hotel in the capital Mogadishu for 30 hours, leaving 21 people dead and 117 injured.

“The dead bodies are still being collected, including women and children. They could be more than twenty,” said Ali Jeyte, the governor of the Hiiraan region where the attack happened.
