Al Shabaab Blamed In Assassination Of Puntland Official

[Coeus]

Bosaso, Puntland, Somalia (AHN) - Masked men armed with pistols gunned down a Puntland court official on Monday in Bosaso, Somalia’s Puntland commercial town, officials and witnesses said.

Abdullahi Salah Shirwa’, Puntland’s high court attorney, was killed after sundown at the center of the port town of Bosaso, about 1,500 kilometers north of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu. He was recently nominated to the position, according to authorities.

Witnesses said the assailants escaped from the scene shortly after the murder. Mohamed Hassan, Puntland’s attorney general, told the media that security forces were conducting search operations, adding that the perpetrators would be arrested and brought to justice.

Hassan said that Al Shabaab militants fighting in southern Somalia had masterminded the assassination. He ruled out the murder as being engineered by pirates.

Al Shabaab did not release any comments about the charge.

Insecurity and violence in parts of Puntland have reportedly been rampant in the last few months. Puntland and Somaliland are the most stable areas in Somalia
