Gunmen stormed a popular beachside hotel and restaurant in the Somali capital Mogadishu on Thursday, detonating two car bombs and exchanging gunfire with government forces in a battle that killed at least three people.

The armed group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack at the Beach View Hotel on Mogadishu's Lido beach, an area with many restaurants and other upmarket establishments popular with business people.

"After the blast, I saw at least four armed men run into the hotel, shooting everyone inside and around the hotel," Mustafa Elmi, a Lido beach visitor, told DPA news agency.

"I managed to escape with minor wounds, but there were people who were shot dead on the spot," he added.
...
Al-Shabab, which is aligned with Al-Qaeda, wants to topple the Western-backed government in Mogadishu and impose a strict version of Islamic law across Somalia, a nation racked by conflict since the outbreak of civil war in 1991.

and zero mention on home page of NY Times.

so we have arrived at the complete normalization of daily massacres of random unarmed civilians by muslims, in the name of islam.

is the news being softly censored because it might support trump's proposal to limit islamic immigration to the US?

Wow patrick, paranoid much? There aren't any wire services in somolia. Just some bbc and aljazeera reporters. Both of which reported it promptly. The rest of the western media had to get the story from those publications instead of the wire services. The story is now in the msm. Check the nyt world page. Notice the bloomburg article was 5 hours behind aj/bbc and there is no wire service attributed. They just copied off bbc or aj.

Remember that in the us press 1000 dead africans/asians = 10 dead europeans = 1 cute california girl with a hangnail in terms of reporting importance.

no, it is to protect the president since he's decided to take in muslim refugees.

The NYT is usually downplaying (regulating to page 20) or ignoring news that doesn't serve a Neoliberal Narrative.

Did you know there are mass protests in Moldova against the pro-EU government that is corrupt to the hilt?

Likely career suicide if you don' go along.
