MOGADISHU – At least six people including two Turkish teachers have been shot and killed and six others wounded in drive-by shooting in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, witnesses said. Four Somali nationals were also among those killed in the attack, officials said. In Wednesday’s attack has wounded at least five Turkish students and a Kenyan teacher whose vehicle has been sprayed bullets by gunmen in Mogadishu’s Hodan district, witnesses said. The wounded have been rushed to the hospitals in the capital for medical treatment. Somalia has.... hospitals ?
Turkish workers rarely targeted by gunmen, thought to be Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab militants based in Somalia. The Mogadishu’s defense hospital, seaport and Aden Adde International airport runs by Turkish agencies. No group has claimed responsibility for the shooting but Al Shabaab carried out similar attacks in the past months. | |||
