Somalia: Al-Shabab Attack Kills 39 as U.S. Ramps Up Airstrikes
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Somalia's capital Mogadishu, suicide bombers and gunmen attacked a
popular hotel Saturday, killing 39 people and wounding 40 others. The
militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility. The attack came as the
Trump administration has stepped up attacks on al-Shabab, with at least
29 airstrikes in Somalia so far this year.
