| 2007-07-10 |
| (SomaliNet) An MSF-Swiss personnel was gunned down in Beledweyne city, 350km north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Monday, reports say. A man wearing government army uniform killed Mr. Ibrahim Abdi Isse, according to local officials. Mr. Abdi was shot down walking in Beledweyne city center, the provincial capital of Hiran region. “This morning we heard gun shots and later found out that MSF-Swiss officer was killed by an armed man who resembled the government and dressed like government soldiers. Some reports say that he was killed for clan-feud. Abdi’s killing came as there is wider security concern in the region. The attacker also wounded two other passersby and escaped away. Shortly after the incident, the security forces in Beledweyne reached the area and began investigations. Killings over clan causes have been common in Somalia for the last four decades. |
