40 Sheiks apprehended in Mogadishu
(SomaliNet) In an unusual move, the transitional federal government took away 40 religious scholars overnight from a mosque in Huriwa neighborhood, north of the Somalia capital immediately after Isha prayers while the Sheiks were supplicating. The rounded up scholars were frog marched to a nearby technical vehicles, handcuffed and blindfolded and taken to unknown location.
Did the perp walk with them, did they? | I saw the government soldiers handcuffing and blindfolding the religious scholars and every one in the mosque took a cover to save his life, said Mohamud Jimale, one of the faithful adding that I really dont known why the Sheiks were targeted,
Other than them being murderous bastards and members of the Islamic Courts, you mean. | This is not the first time the government forces raid mosques in the capital ostensibly to smoke out the remnants of the insurgents.
