23 people are now known to have died after a truck bombing at a hotel in Somalia's capital.

Rescue workers found the bodies of a woman and three children, including a baby - all had been shot in the head.

The initial blast occurred when a vehicle carrying a bomb drove into the hotel in Mogadishu, which is near the presidential palace.

Militants then stormed the building, where a second explosion is believed to have occurred.

The Islamist militant group al-Shabab says it was responsible.

It comes just two weeks after another bomb in the capital killed 350 people.
