SOMALIA: Senior officer of South-African mercenary firm killed in Puntland

Bosasso (RBC) Senior training officer for South African mercenary firm, Saracen International was shot to death by his fellow Somali guards in Puntland on Friday, RBC Radio reports.

The shooting has reportedly taken place on Friday at Timirshe village on the suburb of Iskushuban district, 160km east from Bosasso, the provincial capital of Somalia’s northeastern region after heavy argument between the white-south African commander and his Somali guards.
Several bullets were shot on his head and the chest and led to urgent death.
Unnamed security officials in Puntland confirmed the killing as they claimed that urgent investigations were launched to identify the reason of the killing but reliable sources told RBC Radio that at least 40 Somali guards working for the firm were arrested for the case.

The body of the deceased foreign officer was taken back to Qaw location near Bosasso town late on Friday while there were no immediate comments from Saracen’s officials in the region.

The foreign mercenary firm which claims a counter-piracy mission in Puntland have recently set up new camps in eastern districts of Puntland but there has been growing anger from the local community who suspect that the group involved other illegal activities including stealing of precious gemstones from the region.

The Saracen mission in Somalia started in 2010 in coordinating with a security training contract with the transitional government of Somalia but later that year the company moved to Puntland after signing another contract with the local administration under the name of “anti-piracy” mission.
Both the UN and the U.S government expressed their concern over the mission after news agencies and UN body monitoring the arms embargo on Somalia revealed that Saracen International, paid by unnamed Muslim nation begun to import weapons for Puntland administration.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- An official in Somalia says a bodyguard has killed a South African security trainer in the semiautonomous north.

The official in Puntland region said Saturday that the trainer worked for Saracen International, a security firm that trains anti-piracy forces. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter.
The official said the trainer, whose name was not available, was killed Friday after arguing with his Somali bodyguard.
South African officials said they had no information.

Somalia's prime minister recently said that al-Qaida-linked militants were fleeing to mountainous hideouts in Puntland after facing increasing military pressure around Somalia's capital.
Somalia has not had a functioning central government for more than two decades.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A South African security trainer was killed by his bodyguard in Somalia's semiautonomous region of Puntland, officials said Saturday.

Puntland's government said in a statement Saturday that it had launched an investigation into Friday's killing. The statement identified the man as Lodewyk Pietersen, and said he worked for Saracen International, a security firm that trains anti-piracy forces in Puntland. The statement said the South African was 55 and married with children.

South African foreign ministry spokesman Clayson Monyela said Saturday no official word has been received from consular staff handling South African interests in Somalia.

"We have not yet been alerted to such an incident," he said.

The statement said the trainer was killed while accompanying Puntland's maritime forces on a government-approved mission targeting pirates near Hul-Anod, a coastal area favored by pirates who use it as a base to hijack ships for ransom.

Pietersen was shot dead by his Somali bodyguard after an argument, according to a Puntland official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the matter. The official said Puntland's security forces were hunting for the killer.

Somalia's prime minister recently said that al-Qaida-linked militants were fleeing to mountainous hideouts in Puntland after facing increasing military pressure around Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.

Somalia, which has not had a functioning central government for more than two decades, is one of the most dangerous places for foreigners to work.
