Ahmed Dahir, father of Lul Ahmed , was a Colonel in the Somali National Army and his wife knew that their daughter joined Al-Shabaab after she had separated her husband, Ismail Muse.

The parents of the suicide bomber has failed to report the activities of their radicalized daughter to the UK security officials, however, Lul asked the separation of her husband for living in Dar al-Kufr (land of disbelief) and got married her second husband Abdi Salan, who eventually blew himself up in Mogadishu. 

Few days later, she got married her third husband,Sheikh Abdiaziz Abu Muscab, Al-Shabab's Spokesperson for military operations.  

Lul,  a mother of six, was a  friend of at least four fame Security officials that confessed it when was interviewed and they used to give her lift, whenever she needed to get home. 

Central hotel managers mistakenly assumed that Lul Ahmed was an official of National Security till the incident. And when ever asked about her husband , her reply to that question was simply he died for malaria.

Two days earlier before the Central hotel incident , she was given a lift by AbdiAziz, the Director General of the national Security Ministry of Somalia.  

 Lul was a social person and she allowed  every single national security person to be a friend of her and taking pictures with them.

Lul's object behind all these was to assassinate Somali deputy PM and tried many times to enter into his room several times, pretending as someone that is checking in the Air Conditioner's  technical problem. 

Deputy PM Mohamed Omar hails from northern Somalia (Somaliland) and his position was not in favor to President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Silanyo since it could be a challenge to his position. 

Despite interviews of Security personnel suggests that Silanyo's cooperation or compliance with the Central hotel attackers. 

However, Somaliland administration has been banding with the terrorists in a bid to stir up Somalia's Mogadishu to gain international recognition.But Somali government's stance towards Somaliland's terror support left unknown.
