Officials told the Associated Press news agency that at least 20 people were killed. Somali armed forces battled Al Qaeda-linked militants for 30 hours. On Friday night, there was also a blast at the Hyatt Hotel.

Friday’s attack was the first since President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took office in May.

Al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack.

Al Shabaab has been fighting to topple the Somali government for more than 10 years. It wants to establish its own government based on a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

The Hyatt is a popular hotel where lawmakers and other government officials stay.
