The 30-hour Hayat Hotel attack killed 21 people.Somalia's prime minister has promised accountability after a deadly Mogadishu hotel siege by al-Shabaab, calling the armed group"children of hell".
"There is only one of two choices here: we either allow al-Shabaab - the children of hell - to live; or we live. We cannot live together," said Barre, appointed prime minister in June.He was speaking after visiting a hospital treating victims of the bomb-and-gun attack on the Hayat Hotel, which the health ministry said killed 21 people and wounded 117 others.
The Hayat was a favoured meeting spot for government officials, and crowds were inside when a suicide bomber triggered an enormous blast, opening a way into the site for heavily armed gunmen.
