Islamist militants stormed a hotel in Somalia’s capital, engaging in an hours-long exchange of fire with the security forces that left at least 20 people dead, according to police and witnesses.

In addition, at least 40 people were wounded in the late Friday night attack and security forces rescued many others, including children, from the scene at Mogadishu’s popular Hayat Hotel, they said Saturday.

The attack began with blasts outside the hotel before the gunmen entered the building. Somali forces were still trying to end the siege of the hotel almost 24 hours after the attack started.

Gunfire could still be heard on Saturday evening as security forces tried to contain the last gunmen thought to be holed up on the hotel’s top floor.

The Islamist group, alShabab, which has al Qaida ties, claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by officials.

The attack on the hotel is the first major terror incident in Mogadishu since Somalia’s new leader, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, took over.

Bolsonaro tries to grab phone of heckler

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro briefly grappled with a heckler and tried to snatch his phone on Thursday, underscoring possible challenges for the sometimes quick-tempered leader to stay disciplined on the campaign trail.

As Bolsonaro spoke to supporters outside his residence in the capital city of Brasilia, social media influencer Wilker Leão used his phone to film himself repeatedly shouting at the President, calling him “coward”, “bum” and the “darling” of a pork-barrel faction in Congress.

Bolsonaro first entered his car, but then re-emerged and grabbed the man’s shirt and forearm while reaching for his phone. Security guards pulled Leão away.

The presidential campaign that kicked off on Tuesday is expected to be an uphill battle for Bolsonaro.
