Aug 20 (Reuters) - Somali forces have ended the siege at a hotel in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, the AFP news agency said in a tweet on Saturday, citing a security commander.
"The gunmen are dead," the commander told AFP, adding that a press briefing would be held Sunday morning.
At least 12 people were killed when al Qaeda-linked militants attacked the hotel.
The attackers struck the Hayat Hotel on Friday evening with two car bombs, before entering the facility while firing their guns and seizing control.
