| Somali Govt Official shot dead in Mogadishu |
| 2016-08-02 |
| Suspected Al Shabaab assassins have killed a senior Somali government official in Mogadishu on Sunday night, the latest in a string of killings in the capital. Khalid Mohamed Mo’alin, who was a village administrator in Mogadishu’s Yaqshid district was executed by pistol-wielding men, thought to be Al Shabaab. The murder of Mo’alin was the third assassination of its kind in the past two days in Mogadishu, a city that has been hit by deadly attacks from Al Shabaab. Afterwards, Somali security forces have cordoned off the scene of shooting, and launched a manhunt for the suspects, but reports say no arrest was made so far. |
