Updated at: 1532 PST, Tuesday, August 24, 2010 MOGADISHU: Shebab fighters shot dead 30 people, including six members of parliament, in a suicide attack on a Mogadishu hotel Tuesday, Somalia's deputy prime minister said. The two militants disguised as government security forces then blew themselves up to avoid arrest after the attack on the hotel, which was crowded with Somali officials. "Thirty people died in this ambush. Six of them are members of the Somali parliament and four are Somali government civil servants," Abdirahman Haji Adab Ibbi told reporters after the deadly rampage at Hotel Mona. "The 20 others are innocent civilians who died in this horrible incident," he added.
