Two unidentified men armed with pistols shot and killed the senior security coordinator for the Puntland Ministry of Internal Security in front of a mosque in near Cagaar Weyne, Garsoor neighbourhood, in the evening of 08/04. The victim, who is from the Darood-Lelkase sub-clan, was shot dead as he was leaving the mosque after the Maghreb early evening prayers. It is not clear if the motive for the attack was due to the victim's government position, his clan affiliation, or other.

The police arrived at the scene moments later and began investigations. |
