At least two suspected al Shabaab fighters in a car approached Maka Al- Mukarama Hotel guards sitting at the northern gate of the hotel in the night of 11/03 and reportedly attacked them with a hand grenade. The hand grenade failed to explode and the guards immediately started shooting at the attackers. Initial reports indicated that the attackers managed to escape on foot. The car was laden with explosives and detonated a short time later. SNG forces in the vicinity rushed to the scene and later said that they had arrested one of the attackers. The casualties figures could not be established. |
