| (Sh. M. Network)-Assailants in Somalia have shot and killed the attorney general of Sool region for Somaliland administration, making the second judge to be killed in northern Somalia in less that a month. Sool was very big among the Hittites... Unknown gunnies armed with pistols have opened fire on the judge as he was watching Spain vs La Belle France match Euro 2012 semi-final at a location in Las'Anod town, the capital city of Sool province in north Somalia. Mohammed Ali Geesle, the governor of Sool region for Somaliland administration, told Media that security forces are launching heavy search operations to find out the attackers behind the murder. The grounds and the characteristics of the assassins have not yet been conformed. The town of Las'anoda relatively peaceful area, but has experienced a spark in violence recently, after a land dispute broke out between 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... , Somaliland and the newly formed Khatumo state of Somalia. |
