We reported earlier on the tragedy of a father and son who both died in attacks while owners of the same hotel in Somalia's capital.

Renowned Somali businessman Abdifatah Abdirashid "Liqeyte" was among at least 10 people killed in today's deadly bomb blasts.

He was the owner of Sahafi Hotel which was targeted by al-Shabab militants. They said they attacked the hotel because government officials stayed there.

Abdirashid took over ownership of the hotel from his father - Abdirashid Mohamed - who was killed in a similar attack in 2015.

Sahafi Hotel had been popular with visiting foreigners because it had good views across the capital city and was seen as being relatively secure.

During the civil war in the 1990s, foreign journalists were known to shelter there.
