The killer, who later was shot dead, sneaked into a house in Jilib where he targeted the Ethiopians and opened fire to a number of Ethiopian soldiers at the townÂ’s checkpoint, killing two on the spot and injuring two others. Witnesses told SomaliNet that the man escaped after the initial attack early this morning. He was found and shot dead later in the day.
Before killing the Islamist martyr, the Ethiopians searched through the town and later found where he was hiding and killed him after strong resistance. “The Islamist man stayed apart from 11 other fighters who were left behind the frontline near Jilib who decided to go on foot to Mogadishu through adventuring the jungle,” local resident said. “The Islamist said he wanted to claim the lives of several Ethiopian soldiers before getting martyrdom.”
The Ethiopian forces are now speeding up the establishment of the security in Jilib to prevent such incident in the future.
