Somalia, extremists claim over 100 killed in intense battle

Somalia government, extremists claim over 100 killed including army officer in intense clash

The government in a statement asserted that more than 100 al-Shabab extremists died after they attacked a Somali National Army base in the Galgudud region village of Galcad that was recently retaken from the fighters' control

Somalia's government and al-Qaeda-linked fighters both claimed more than 100 people were killed on Friday in their deadliest battle since the government launched a major military offensive against the extremists in August.
The government in a statement asserted that more than 100 al-Shabab extremists died after they attacked a Somali National Army base in the Galgudud region village of Galcad that was recently retaken from the fighters' control.
The government statement said seven soldiers, including an officer from the elite, US-trained Danab brigade, were killed in the &ldquo;intense attack&rdquo; but asserted that the military remained in control of the base. The government expressed gratitude to international allies that assisted in the battle.
A spokesman for the Al-Shabab extremists, Sheikh Abu Musab, asserted that more than 150 Somali soldiers and officers were killed.
Neither side's claim could be independently verified, but Galcad resident Abukar Uluso told The Associated Press there was heavy gunfire exchanged.
&ldquo;It was during the dawn prayer when I heard the sound of explosions followed by an exchange of gunfire,&rdquo; Uluso said.
&ldquo;Most fatalities were among the two sides, and the civilian casualties are minimal since the attack took place inside the army base.&rdquo; Somalia's government last year declared &ldquo;total war&rdquo; against al-Shabab.
The extremist group has thousands of fighters and has long held parts of central and southern Somalia, and often carries out high-profile attacks in the capital, Mogadishu.
The government in recent months claimed success in retaking many communities during what has been described as the most significant offensive in more than a decade. Security analysts have warned that holding the territory will be a challenge.

Somali forces have ended a nearly 30-hour siege of a hotel by Al-Shabab jihadists in the country's capital Mogadishu around midnight on Saturday, as per media reports. 

Somalia hotel seige by Al-Shabab ends after 30 hours, 13 civilians killed: Report

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

Somali forces have ended a nearly 30-hour siege of a hotel by Al-Shabab fighters in the country's capital Mogadishu, a security commander told AFP.
At least 13 civilians were reportedly killed and several injured in the siege which began with the Al-Qaeda affiliate fighters unleashing a gun and bomb attack on the popular Hayat Hotel on Friday evening.
"The security forces have ended the siege now and the gunmen are dead, we've had no incoming gunfire from the building in the past hour," the commander was quoted as saying by the AFP.
The government has not yet released details of the total number of casualties be it on the part of civilians, security forces or Al-Shabab fighters.
The security forces are yet to clear the luxury hotel of explosives that may have been planted or left behind by the militants.

The attack by the Islamic extremist group al-Shabab is the latest of its frequent attempts to strike places visited by government officials. The attack on the hotel is the first major terror incident in Mogadishu since Somalia's new leader, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, took over in May.
