26 dead and just 4 terrorists pulled off the attack? Pretty poor security, huh? Everyone would know to beware of this situation. It sounds like a candidate for political office was killed too.  Inside help?

2 Americans Among 26 Dead After Terrorists Storm Hotel in Somalia
By Reuters
July 13, 2019 

MOGADISHU/GAROWE, Somalia—The death toll from the attack on a hotel in Somalia’s port city of Kismayu has risen to 26, with Kenyans, Americans, a Briton, and Tanzanians among the dead, the Jubbaland region’s president said on July 13.

A presidential candidate for upcoming regional elections was also killed in the assault by four terrorists, Jubbaland president Ahmed Mohamed said in a statement. At least two journalists and a U.N. agency staff member were also reported to have been killed.

Police officer Major Mohamed Abdi earlier told Reuters that security forces had ended the overnight attack.

It sounds like a Canadian Somali journalist, in fact, starting some sort of TV there, was killed. So, Representative Omar? What say you?

I’ve been in great shock since I heard the news of Hodan Naleyeh’s killing in an explosion in Somalia.

Hodan was an incredibly talented, creative, down-to-earth journalist who single-handedly tried to change the racist media narrative around Somalia and Somalis.

Appears we have one responsible news reporting that dispenses with the alleged terrorist label and calls a spade a spade.

Here's an example of how another news agency like AP soften things.
