| Sounds rather ... Paleostinian. |

| Bet they just strolled away Mafia-style. |
It is not yet clear the reasons behind the killing but sources say it was related to earlier animosity between clans in the regions.
In Kismayo city, the killing act become a big issue and sparked public anger.
Sheik Ibrahim Shukri, Islamist spokesman for Lower Juba region in southern Somalia confirmed the news that these men were terminated by Islamic fighters. "We are very sorry about what happened and it was an accident and the men who committed the act were caught by Islamic troops and they will go under investigation," Sheik Ibrahim said. "They were prisons of war and it is absolutely inhumane to do so,"
"We filled them full o' holes, boss, but we didn't mean to. Don't know what came over us, but it'll never happen again."
"Not until I tell you to, anyway."
"Daaaaaah, right boss." |
Intensive meetings are now under way in Kismayo city over this matter. Elders of the killed militia members had issued a communiqué condemning these killings.
