Somalia PM vows accountability over hotel siege

MOGADISHU: Somalia's premier said there would be accountability in his government over the deadly Mogadishu hotel siege by Al-Shabaab jihadists that he branded as 'children of hell.'

He also called on Somalis to unite in the fight against the Al-Qaida-linked group that has been waging a bloody insurgency in the impoverished Horn of Africa nation for more than 15 years.
