time. conor, thank you very much. in somalia, the terrorist group al shabab has gone on the attack again. this time a police official saying five islamic terrorists struck a mogadishu hotel, popular with government officials and some lawmakers. the attack happened at day break. first a suicide car bomb detonated outside, then men with ak-47s and hand grenades stormed inside. in all, six people were killed, ten others hurt. translator: big explosion, busy taking photos when a vehicle filled with explosives was beside me. i survived the incident and now my condition is improving. i police commander says that security forces ended the siege by killing all five attackers. al shabab is now fighting to oust that somali government that is trying to hold on in
