OLOL Posted March 13, 2007 Walaahi, beerlaawe macangag, **********, khaa'inul wadan soow kursi ugu fariisto iyo soow u laayo reer xamar, inoow ciyaalkiisa iyo walaalihiis meesha ku baaba'aan ma kala jecla.... in the final analysis, he will be doomed and die violently.... Somalia president reported under attack By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 34 minutes ago Somalia's president came under mortar attack in his palace Tuesday, hours after arriving for a rare visit to the increasingly violent capital, witnesses said. A 12-year-old boy was killed and three of his siblings were wounded in the shelling, but there was no immediate word on the fate of President Abdullahi Yusuf. Yusuf had arrived in Mogadishu from the government stronghold town of Baidoa shortly before the attack began, an Associated Press reporter said. "Six mortars have been fired at the presidential palace," said Abdiwahid Haji Mumin, who lives near the hilltop palace, known as Villa Somalia. "Two have hit inside the palace and four outside." Abdullah Ahmed said his 12-year-old son was killed by a mortar that missed the palace. Three of his children were also injured by shrapnel, he told AP. "They were sleeping when the mortar hit us. It is sad to see your children to be killed in front of you and you can't do anything," Ahmed said. Somalia's government and troops from neighboring Ethiopia drove out a radical Islamic movement late last year, but the government is now struggling with a growing insurgency and the Ethiopians have started pulling out. African Union peacekeepers who began arriving last week also have come under attack. The peacekeepers are the first here in more than a decade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabbal Posted March 13, 2007 Olol, your topic title makes no sense! Who puppeteered? The innocent child that was killed by the misfired mortar and his wounded brothers or did you misread and believe Abdulahi Yusuf's child and brothers were the causalities?

Taako Man Posted March 13, 2007 Did you see Abdullahi Ahmed and get your panties in a bunch? The people who died were innocent people who lived near Villa Somalia, because these guys don't know how to aim. I guess this will build consensus?

Somalia's president came under mortar attack in his palace Tuesday, as gun battles erupted in the violent capital. President Abdullahi Yusuf was unharmed during the 10 minute attack, presidential spokesman Hussein Mohamoud Hussein told The Associated Press. But a 12-year-old boy was killed by a mortar that missed the palace, the boy's father said. Three of his children were also injured by shrapnel.
