Two security officials, including Mogadishu’s intelligence chief Muhyiddin Mohamed, were wounded in the ongoing attack, Dahir said. However, details remained unclear as the siege continued. The al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement published on its linked websites, saying its fighters managed to seize the hotel after storming the building. CNN has not independently confirmed the claim. A US airstrike on Sunday killed 13 members of the al-Shabaab group, the US Africa Command said in a statement earlier this week. It is not clear if Friday’s attack is connected to this strike. In May, US President Joe Biden decided to redeploy troops to Somalia to support the local government and counter al-Shabaab. The move reversed former President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw all US troops from the country. CNN’s Oren Liebermann contributed reporting
