Boy killed as Islamists raid cinema
2006-09-18
A 13-YEAR-OLD boy was killed and three others wounded overnight when Somali Islamic militia raided a cinema hall in southern Mogadishu to break up a crowd watching an English premier league match. They said the militiamen aboard machinegun-mounted pickups stormed Duale Cinema in Bulo-hubey district where hundreds were watching the Chelsea-Liverpool match and opened fire, killing the boy as others scampered for safety. They also smashed a television set and satellite-link equipment.

“They tried to prevent the Islamic court carrying out its duties by making violence so we have ventilated dispersed them with gunfire...”
"I saw armed men pouring into the cinema hall and minutes later they opened fire indiscriminately, killing one and wounding three others, including my younger brother," Idris Abdi Taqtar, a witness, said. Another fan Mohamed Jeeyte said the slain boy lay in a pool of blood outside the cinema hall.

The Islamists confirmed the death, but blamed the fans for sparking the violence when they blocked militiamen from entering the hall to implement a ban on cinema halls in Mogadishu. "They started violent protest and fired bullets at the Islamic militias and we returned fire," said Ise Mohamed, a commander for the Islamic gunmen. "They tried to prevent the Islamic court carry out its duties by making violence so that we have dispersed them with gunfire," he said.

#8  The Lions of Islam were just pissed off they couldn't find a nun to shoot in the back or a priest to kidnap, torture and hold for ransom. Let's give the ROP a pass shall we?

#6  Anything that would give the people even a small glimpse of normal life must be destroyed, or the moon-god death cult might lose it's grip on a few. No soul, no humanity, no reason, no compassion, no honor, no integrity, no conscience.

Anything short of complete annihilating these pieces of sh*t is a waste of time.

#5  Not to mention the super vapours being had by the strong-willed (by definition, anyway) menfolk, well known for their oddly demonstrated fondness of a pretty lad.

#1  Yeah right! "They started violent protest and fired bullets at the Islamic militias and we returned fire," said Ise Mohamed, a commander for the Islamic gunmen. "They tried to prevent the Islamic court carry out its duties by making violence so that we have dispersed them with gunfire," he said.
