Camel Mlik Posted September 24, 2005 Somalia: Four killed in Mogadishu sat. September 24, 2005 03:01 pm. Send this news article Three masked assailants armed with AK47 assault riffles and a handgun stormed a coffee shop and sprayed hail of bullets last night, killing four men and wounding many. Witnesses said the assailants who were masked and hid their faces left the scene by foot. Unconfirmed reports say the slaying may be related to earlier killings. This kind of surprise attack is normal throughout southern Somalia, especially the capital. Hundreds of years old unwritten Somali law states if you commit a murder, someone from your tribe not necessarily in the same city will pay the price. Mogadishu residents are at the mercy of armed thugs who were never taught of the value of human lives, many of whom loyal to about a dozen warlords. Responsibility for safeguarding the public lies with Mogadishu warlords and Islamic courts who claim to control the city.
