HARGEISA, 27 March 2006--Six members of a terrorist group who are serving long sentences and death sentences have tried to escape from a maximum-security jail in Hargeisa today.
Sources close to the Somaliland government told Awdalnews Network, that members of the five-terrorist cell including Abdirahman Indho-Ade, one of the most dangerous and most wanted terrorists in the Horn of Africa, jumped the prison fence at about 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening of Somaliland time.
The source added that the police have rearrested all of them and including Indha-Ade who was wounded while resisting the arrest.
A Somaliland court sentenced eight men to death on in November 2005 for killing several aid workers between 2003 and 2004. Two British teachers, Richard Eyeington and his wife, Enid, were shot dead in October 2003 at their home in a former British built Secondary school in Sheikh town.
The murder of the Eyeingtons came just two weeks after the murder of an Italian hospital humanitarian, Annalena Tonelli, who ran a TB hospital in Borama town, 10 km from Hargeysa.
Three suspects, Mohamed Ali, Ahmed Samatar and Ibrahim Ali, were convicted of killing the Eyeingtons.
Another five suspects, Jamaa Abdi, Ali Muse, Daud Salah, Ali Muhamed and Farhan Abdilahi, were also convicted of killing Florence Chepkemei, a Kenyan employee of the German aid agency GTZ, and another colleague in March 2004.
