By Abdi Sheikh and Feisal Omar MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali government troops shot dead three Islamist militants holed up in a building in central Mogadishu on Friday, police said, ending a day-long bomb and gun attack that killed at least 29 civilians. Islamist al Shabaab fighters launched the assault with a suicide car bomb outside the Maka Al-Mukarama hotel on Thursday evening, destroying other structures, igniting a huge fire and leaving people wounded in the rubble. The militants - who are fighting to overthrow the Western-backed government - fled to a neighbouring building and opened fire on special forces and other soldiers sent to flush through out throughout Friday
