Somalia: 2 peace delegates wounded in grenade attack
2007-08-26
(SomaliNet) Two of the peace delegates were reported wounded last night when unidentified armed men supposedly be supporters of the ousted Islamic Courts launched ambush attack on Lafa-weyn hotel in north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu, which houses some of the reconciliation delegates, witnesses said.

Four grenade explosions followed by an exchange of gunfire could be heard around the hotel at 7:20pm tonight, according to the local residents. Abdiwahid Mohamed Hussein, the spokesman for the police said that grenades were hurled at the hotel. He said two of the delegates have been slightly wounded.

Lafa-weyn hotel is one of the heavily guarded hotels that hosted the Somali delegates attending the reconciliation congress in Mogadishu which is in the second phase of the political issues.
Working well, isn't it.

#1  Yes, it IS working, which is why the peace delegates are being targeted. The Islamic Courts can't possibly allow peace to come to Somalia unless they're in charge. Every time they catch one of these degenerate pieces of putrid garbage, they should hang them in the central square for a month, for all to see. As an old friend of mine used to say, it's nice to be loved, but it's better to be feared than to be treated with contempt. The Islamic Courts are treating the rest of Somalia with contempt. The "good" Somalis, along with the Ethiopians and Ugandans, need to prove they're to be feared.
