Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I was shocked at the headline. Not because of terrorism in Somalia, or the casualties. But that there is an Upscale Hotel in Mogadishu!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 That's a relative concept. Any hotel that caters to foreigners in third world countries is considered upscale. The drinking water is bottled, supposedly, and the staff speaks English, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderRiverCowboy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Ahh the Hadji Hyatt , Probably used our weapons we left this time last year Hopefully took out some CNN reporters they stay there often , The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab group has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorist group statements. There were no immediate details available on any casualties, though explosions were still being heard from the hotel’s direction, a Reuters witness said. The Hayat Hotel is a popular venue with lawmakers and other government officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Call Saul Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g294440-Mogadishu-Hotels.html I bet they are affordable from a review: "This hotel is a 3 minute drive from the airport and very secure: bomb barricades; guards; searches of luggage and your person when not coming from airport; guard with gun in front of elevator and in front of conference rooms."

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The cancer of terrorism is alive and well, as is the stupidity of those that support such things. There will be a day of accountability...either in this age, or the next. They are too shortsighted to see it. The "72 virgins", as a partial reward for such things, is in error, and a mistranslation. It is really 72 really ticked off Virginians that will beat the crud out of them and will then escort them into the lake of fire. If your deity sanctions the murder of the innocent, I suggest you change deities, and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
