Two INGO-rented vehicles were carjacked at gun-point close to Biike village (20km S of Iskushuban) in the morning of 14/05. The two vehicles were travelling from Qardho towards Xaafuun with eight staff members, including one female, on board. Six heavily armed men ambushed the vehicles by firing in the air, ordered the vehicles to stop and the staffs to surrender. The attackers drove off with the vehicles, leaving the staffs on the spot and unharmed. The staffs reached back Qardho in the evening of 15/05. The incident is believed to be related to a series of revenge carjacking opposing Majerteen/Ali Saleban and Majerteen/Osman Mohamoud in the area. |
