| (SomaliNet) The district commissioner of Howl-Wadaag neighborhood in southern Somalia capital Mogadishu has been shot dead on late Friday – as the organized killings against the government officials increased in the capital in the past four weeks. Witnesses told Somalinet this evening that three unknown men armed with pistols killed Hassan Farey from close rage as he was coming out of a mosque around 6:25 pm local time. Reports say that the attackers have escaped unharmed as the body of the killed district commissioner was taken away by his relatives. Shortly after the shooting, the government security forces reached the area sealing off all roads and started door to door search to find suspects. No one has been arrested for the latest killing so far. He is the fourth district commissioner killed in Mogadishu since the arrival of the transitional government in Mogadishu early this year. On Wednesday, armed men had similarly killed the commander of the security intelligence in Hamar-Weyne district as he was on his duty. |
