Somalia: 5 headless bodies found in rebel-held Mogadishu

21 Apr 21, 2010 - 10:07:01 AM

 

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Five headless bodies have been found in a rebel-held area of Somalia's capital, and residents said Wednesday they suspect the Islamist militant group al-Shabab killed the men because they had helped construct the parliament building.

 

No group has claimed responsibility for the killings, but al-Shabab has beheaded individuals in the past that it accused of spying for the U.S.- and U.N.-backed Somali government.

 

Hardline militants in Somalia give out harsh punishments such as stonings and amputations to people it accuses of crimes. Militants have also banned movies and modern music, saying that those types of entertainment are un-Islamic.

 

Islamic insurgents control much of Mogadishu and have been trying to topple the fragile government for three years. Somalia has not had an effective government for 18 years.

 

Relatives and friends say the men have been missing for the last five days.

 

"We suspect they were executed by al-Shabab militants because they had in the past received phone threats accusing them of helping to construct the former Somali parliament premise," said a resident who spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for his safety.

 

The al-Qaida-linked militants consider any Somali who works for the fragile government or with the African Union as apostates.

 

"To slaughter a human being as an animal is a flagrant and brutal violation against international law," said Ahmed Mohamed Ali, the head of a Somali human rights group. "Those behind such remorseless and shocking attacks will be brought to justice one day."

 

Elsewhere, clashes in central Somalia killed 12 people, mostly combatants, residents said.

 

The fighting pitted al-Shabab rebels against fighters from Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama, a moderate Sufi Muslim group that recently signed a power-sharing peace deal with the government.

Shan ka mid ah Shaqaalihii Fuundiyaasha dayactiray Gurigii Umada oo la gowracay

 

Dadka ku dhaqan degmada Yaaqshiid ayaa saaka arkay meydka shan ruux oo la gowracay, kuwaasoo lagu soo dhigay meel u dhow Qabuuraha Barakaat ee Jidka Warshadaha.

 

Sida ay sheegayaan wararka dadkan ayaa ka mid ahaa shaqaalaha loo yaqaano Fuundiga, kuwaasoo dayactiray Gurigii Umada oo lagu wado in ay xarun u noqoto Baarlamaanka Soomaaliya.

 

Wakaalada Wararka ee Reuters oo soo xiganeysay dad goob joogayaal ah ayaa sheegtay in dadka la gowracay shalay gelinkii dambe, kuwaasoo hal god la isugu geeyay, waxaana dadka deegaanka ay sheegeen in ay arkeen lugahooda oo ka muuqda godka.

 

Lama oga ilaa iyo hada cida dishay, hase ahaatee waxaa jira tuhun ku aadan dilkeen iyo sida lagu qabto, inkastoo dadka deegaanka ay sheegeen in raggan oo ahaa Fuundiyaal ay soo dhameysteen howshooda, kadibna la qabtay.

 

Ma jirto illaa iyo hada wax war ah oo ka soo baxay Dowladda Soomaaliya oo ku aadan dilkan wadarta ah ee lagu fuliyay raggii dayactiray xaruntii Golaha Shacabka oo kalfadhi ugu furmi doono maalmaha soo socda Baarlamaanka Soomaaliya
