 Unidentified gunmen have killed a Somali MP in the Somali capital, the latest in string of attacks targeting the country’s legislative body members, officials said Saturday.

Osman Elmi Boqore was assisinated by two gunmen in Karan district, north of Mogadishu.

Witnesses told  that the attackers escaped the scene. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, however, it carries the hallmarks of  Al-Shabab group.

Somalia’s security officials said investigations were underway as security forces moved to pursue the attackers. Hon. Boqore is the first law maker killed this year in Somalia.
