Gunmen kill Puntland Security Official in Bosaso
[Garowe Online] Unidentified Gunmen killed a security official in the heart of Bosaso, the commercial hub of the northeastern semi-autonomous region of Puntland...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... on Wednesday, Garowe Online reports. Abdi Ali Muse (Abdi Dheere), the deputy commander of central Police station was rubbed out by near the compound of the first degree court of Bari region in the coastal, who immediately expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. The reason behind the killing of Muse is unclear, as no group has yet grabbed credit for the attack against the official, which was the latest in series of liquidations in the town over the past days. Police authorities cordoned off the crime area, and have launched an investigation and a manhunt mission to capture the suspects thought to be Al shabaab assassins, according to the eyewitnesses.
