Oh no -- not the khat!
[Shabelle English] AL shabaab militants were accused of opening fire and kidnapping a public vehicle transporting Khat at a location near Garbaharey town, the capital of Gedo region.

Nur Mohamed Burale, the district commissioner of Garbaharey told Radio Shabelle that one person died in the attack while the rest of the occupants of the car have been abducted by Al shabaab militants.

The incident took place at the Al shabaab controlled Tulo-Barwaqo village which is situated in the outskirts of Garbaharey city, according to Mr Burale.

The Khat carrying car was travelling from Beled-Hawo and en route to Garbaharey town at the time of the kidnapping. Al shabaab did not issue a comment on the accusations.
