Deputy DC slain in Mogadishu
2007-07-04
(SomaliNet) Unknown gunmen have shot dead the deputy district commissioner of Huriwa district in north of Somalia capital Mogadishu late Monday as the killing and hunting down the authorities in the interim government continues. Osman Ali was gunned down tonight by two men armed with pistols as he was walking in one of the districtÂ’s villages, according to the local residents. Mr. Ali dies on the spot and the assailants escaped unharmed.

Two months ago, the former DC of Huriwaa was killed by unknown armed men as he standing outside of his house in Wardhigley district.

Meanwhile, Mogadishu is still under curfew for the second week with killings, bombings and ambush attacks on the government positions are rampant.

#2  These hits are most likely staged out of various mosques. I am surprised the government does not have informers telling them which ones. The counter to these assassinations is the assassination of the appropriate mosque leaders (I know, I know, they ALL qualify).

#1  Somali government officials must enjoy the same life expectancy the beachmasters did in the Pacific Theater of WWII.
