Mogadishu (CNN) — Smoke and flames rose from Somalia’s parliament building in Mogadishu after militants launched an attack Saturday. People could be seen lying on the ground, as ambulances pulled up.
People took cover as security forces moved in, exchanging gunfire with the attackers. Some members of parliament were evacuated from the building.
A lawmaker, Mohamed Omar, inside the parliament building said that Al-Shabaab militants wearing military uniforms and suicide belts had entered the compound.
