Two civilians gunned down in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU -- Gunmen and the Somali Federal Government soldier separately killed two civilians as heavy fighting occurred in Mogadishu’s Yaqshid district late on Saturday night, Garowe Online reports.

Unidentified assailants shot a female cleaner working for Somalia University of Mogadishu in head and chest at Kaasabal-Balaare junction on Sunday according to witnesses.

“I expect that Al Shabaab behind the assassination. It is quite complex to know why a woman free from politics was killed and this shows that such groups don’t want progress for our people,” said a spokesman for Hodan district commissioner.

In a separate incident, Somalia Federal Government soldier killed unarmed civilian in Gubta neighborhood of Mogadishu’s Dayniile district. Witnesses said that a quarrel between the soldier and the civilian finally degenerated into the killing.

Meanwhile in Yaqshid district, suspected Al Shabaab militants attacked a military base, leading to the death of 4 persons from the opposing sides. Yaqshid district commissioner told the media that the government soldiers repelled a planned attack but he didn’t mention the exact number of casualty figures.
