At least four people were killed on Thursday in south-western Somalia when Islamist insurgents raided a hotel where a governor was staying, a local elder said. The attack occurred in Qasahdere, 335km south-west of the capital, Mogadishu, where Bay region governor Abdufatah Mohamed Ibrahim and other government officials were lodged in a hotel.
