Somali police said the death toll from an attack late on Thursday by the Islamic militants on a seaside restaurant in Mogadishu had risen to 10.
A Police Officer, Ali Abdullahi, said on Friday in Mogadishu that the attackers set off a car bomb at the Banadir restaurant at the city’s Lido beach before engaging security forces in a fight for several hours.
He said that the casualties comprised six civilians, two members of the security forces and two of the attackers.
Abdullahi said that the Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab had claimed the attack, which ended at about 3.a.m.
The group has carried out a series of deadly attacks in Somalia to try to topple the Western-backed government.
