Jordan condemns Somalia hotel attack

Xinhua, January 25, 2017 Adjust font size:

Jordan on Wednesday condemned a terrorist attack that targeted a hotel in Mogadishu killing at least five people, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said the criminal gangs behind the attack seek to destabilize the country and terrorize its people by increasing chaos, destruction and murder.

The minister reiterated Jordan's constant support for fighting against terrorism and radical groups, voicing condolences to the Somali government and the families of the victims.

At least five people were killed after militants detonated two car bombs and opened fire at a hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu early Wednesday, local police said. Endit
