Gunmen shoot dead a Somali police Col. in Mogadishu
2007-02-04
Mogadishu 03, Feb.07 ( Sh.M.Network) - Unknown gunmen have shot dead a Somali police Col. in south of the capital Mogadishu on Saturday morning. Mohammed Ali Qalaf, a police Col., was shot as he was driving around Bar Ubah neighborhood, near Bakara Market in south of Mogadishu.

Witnesses told Shabelle that he was rushed to Medina hospital after he was riddled with random bullets. He died on the way to the hospital. It is not clear why he was killed or who was responsible for the killing. The Somali government has not yet commented on the issue.
Who to blame, who to blame, who to blame ...
Attacks against the Somali police have mounted since the government launched operations to secure the tranquility of the city. More police have been positioned in many streets of the capital, but they have disappeared after many police officers were ambushed and killed by unknown armed assailants.
