Somalia: Suspects arrested for district commissioner slaying
2007-06-03
(SomaliNet) The security forces in Mogadishu, Somalia capital on Saturday arrested three suspected men linked with last nightÂ’s killing of the late Howl-Wadaag District Commissioner in southern Mogadishu, government official says.

Mr. Hassan Farey has been gunned down by unknown men armed with pistols as he was coming out of a mosque around 6:25 pm yesterday. A funeral was made today for him as many government officials honored his interment. Social affairs deputy mayor for Mogadishu city Mohamed Osman Ali known as ‘Dhagahtur’ told the local media that the police forces apprehended three men armed with pistols allegedly are those who committed the killing of Farey. “The police succeeded in their operation and found the culprits who will be brought before justice,” said Dhagahtur.
Yet being in their organizational infancy, the Somalicops haven't yet perfected the Art of the Crossfire.
The deputy mayor stated that his authority will do all it can to stop acts of insecurity in the capital and prevent plotters from targeting the local officials. Late DC, Hassan Farey was the fourth such official killed in Mogadishu since the transitional government arrived in the city early this year after the Islamists were driven out of Somalia by Ethiopian forces. No one has claimeded responsibility for the waves of the killings in the capital.
