| Somali police chief flees insurgent raid |
| 2008-10-31 |
| A Somali deputy police commander has escaped an insurgent attack that killed six of his guards south of the Somali capital, Mogadishu. The abortive attack had targeted the deputy police commander of the Medina and Dharkenley districts. Abdullahi Ali Yari had been the target of the attack on his office, a Press TV correspondent in Somalia reported. He, however, escaped unharmed while the insurgents killed six of his guards near the office which had reportedly been targeted 19 times over the past three months. The commander's precinct has been the site of recurrent insurgent raids. |
