Big blast rocks Mogadishu hotel
BBC ^ | 6/25/2016

A large explosion has rocked a hotel in the centre of the Somali capital Mogadishu and there is ongoing gunfire after what is suspected to be an al-Shabab attack.

The BBC's Ibrahim Aden, in Mogadishu, says the blast hit the Naso Hablod hotel, a mile from the city's airport.

There is no word on casualties. Reports say there may have been a second blast.

Al-Shabab Islamists frequently carry out attacks in the city in their bid to topple the Western-backed government.

As someone reminded me recently, we have abused the Amish enough.

Where is the meme from the aliens guy?

That just can't be true. We are routinely told by the Obama regime that Islamists are peaceful. Had to be the bombs fault.

According to AG Loretta Lynch, those that are under this terrorist attack need to remember that the most effective response is “compassion and love.”

I don’t know much about this situation yet but I certainly hope there is not a loss of innocent life.

Another Islamic terrorist attack. Again.

That’s in addition to the other 25,000+ Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide since 9-11.

Will Obama, Hillary, and their boot-licking Big Media lackeys have the guts to say the words “Islamic terrorism” now?

Or are they still in denial about the problem?

It’s AGW.
It’s Trump’s fault.
It’s the fault of those white people who voted for Brexit.

We should build walls around muslim regions, and just airdrop weapons in, and occasionally do a false flag or two to keep them stirred up between the tribes
