UNITED NATIONS, March 1 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday condemned "the deadly terrorist attacks" that took place in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

In a statement, the UN chief's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that Guterres "trusts that Somalis will not be deterred by such violence from pursuing a peaceful and prosperous future."

The secretary-general reiterated the support and solidarity of the United Nations with the people and federal government of Somalia in this endeavour.

At least 30 people were killed when a powerful car bomb blasted outside a hotel in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Thursday night.

The al-Qaida linked group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted the hotel which is popular with politicians and government officials along with high profile businessmen. Enditem
