Somali cleric banged in Mog
 (SomaliNet) Somali cleric who had links with the defeated Islamic Courts Union was shot dead by unknown gunmen overnight in the Somalia capital Mogadishu as the insecurity situation looms in the city. Abdi Wali Hassan Omar in his middle age was killed around his house in the west of the capital when unknown men opened fire on him where he has died on the spot. Fadumo Samatar, the wife of the killed man condemned the killing of her husband as inhuman and told the local media that her husband was killed in political motivation. My husband was innocent and did no wrongdoings to my knowledge but apparently he was killed because of his belief and he was supporter of the Islamic Courts, said Samatar. Witnesses told Somalinet that Hassan was not killed for robbery acts because he was holding a pistol and high cost cell phone. Unconfirmed reports say that the killing of Hassan was a revenge action.
