(SomaliNet) A prominent traditional elder was shot dead in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia on Saturday night by unknown gunmen.

 

Moalim Haaruun Moalim Yusuf, 60s, was killed in front of his home in Yaqshid district, north of the capital after the maqrib prayer, according to the local witnesses.

 

“Three unidentified gun men shot my husband with bullets, one of the bullets hit on his head,” said Madino Guled Mohamed, the wife of the slain elder. “I don’t know he was killed but I can assure you that my husband was involving in the reconciliation congress in Mogadishu,”

 

It is not yet clear who was behind the latest killing of the elder.

 

Earlier, the suspected Islamist-led insurgent groups vowed that they kill anyone who participated what they called ‘the conspiracy conference’ in Mogadishu.

 

Moalim Harun was well-respected traditional elder from the prime minister's clan from Mogadishu.
