the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...murderous Moslem group grabbed credit for the liquidation of Somalia’s deputy attorney general on Wednesday in Mogadishu.
Authorities say the attack took place in the Hodan district as Mohammed Abdirahman Mursal left home for work.
Witnesses told VOA Somali that two men on a cycle of violence blocked his way, ordered him to exit the car and shot him dead. The reason for the attack was not known, although al-Shabaab has in the past assassinated government officials, civil servants, soldiers and elders.
The men, who were armed with pistols, expeditiously departed at a goodly pace in the car. Police later found the vehicle abandoned.
Somali officials condemned the attack on Mursal and described him as a rising attorney who studied Islamic law in Soddy Arabia

. One official who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mursal was planning to go to Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

In September 2017, al-Shabaab button men assassinated Mursal’s mother, Anab Abdullahi Hashi, who was secretary general of a Somali women’s organization.
