China's embassy hit in bombing

Member of security staff among those killed as terror group targets hotel

China has strongly condemned a deadly car bombing at a hotel in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Sunday that killed at least 15 people, including one Chinese embassy staff member.

The well-guarded Jazeera Palace Hotel is a popular meeting point for foreigners in the turmoil-filled country, and it is also home to diplomatic missions such as the embassies of China, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
