[Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab,
have claimed responsibility - and at
least four attacked the Asasey Hotel
in the southern port city of Kismayo
on Friday evening.
The group, which is allied to al Qaida,
often uses car bombs to infiltrate
heavily fortified targets.
One was used at the entrance gate
and then gunmen stormed the building.
Those killed in the attack include one Briton,
three Kenyans, three Tanzanians,
two Americans and prominent
Canadian-Somali journalist, Hodan Nalayeh
and her husband, Farid Jama Suleiman.]
