Mogadishu Legislator Gunned Down

Mogadishu, Somalia – Somali legislator Adan Bule Mohamed died after being shot by what local citizens call “clan armed fighters.”

According to witnesses two men armed with AK-47s shot him several times in the head and shoulder in front of his house.

One eyewitness to the event, Ali Aden, said "I believe it was the clan militia who occupied his own house by force for years. He ordered security forces to evict the fighters.”

The attack follows a day after several grenade attacks resulted in the death of two people. Al-Shabab released a statement that those attacks were “just an introduction. We are planning more serious attacks inside the capital.”
