SNA soldier killed in Mogadishu

 

Unidentified gunmen on Monday evening shot dead a Somali government soldier in Bakaro, the biggest market in Mogadishu.

Two pistol-wielding men gunned down the soldier and fled from the scene.

After the shooting, Somali security officers have immediately arrived at the scene, and cordoned it off for investigation, however, no suspect was arrested for the assassination according to an eyewitness.

No group has yet claimed credit for the murder of the soldier, but police have pointed finger of the blame on Al-Shabaab fighters who often target security force members in the capital.

Mogadishu has witnessed an increase of rampant attacks from Al-Shabaab in recent months.
