索马里军队结束对餐厅的包围

Somali security forces say they have ended a deadly siege of a beach-front restaurant in the capital, with at least seven people killed in the attack along with two assailants, a police official said Friday.

Mogadishu\'s police chief, Colonel Bishar, said the attack ended just before dawn Friday morning. “The security forces have ended their operation in which they rescued most of the civilians who were stranded inside the restaurant building and now we are in full control of the restaurant,” said Bishar, speaking from the scene of the attack in Mogadishu.

The attack started Thursday night when a car bomb went off near Banadir Beach restaurant, followed by a gun battle.

Al-Shabab militants quickly claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Colonel Bishar said seven people were killed during the attack, including five civilians and two security personnel. He said two assailants were also killed. Security forces say they have arrested another militant involved in the attack.

摩加迪沙警长毕沙尔上校表示，袭击星期五拂晓前已经结束。他在袭击现场说：“安全部队已结束行动，营救出大多数被困在餐厅里的平民。我们现在已完全控制了这家餐厅。”

袭击始于周四晚上，当时，一个汽车炸弹在班纳迪尔海滨餐厅附近爆炸，之后发生枪战。

索马里青年党的激进分子很快声称对袭击负责。

毕沙尔上校说，有7人在冲突中被打死，包括5名平民和2名安全人员。他说，2名袭击者也被打死。安全部队说，他们逮捕了另外一名参与袭击的激进分子。
