Islamist insurgent commander assassinated in Mogadishu

Mogadishu (Earth Times) - A high-ranking commander of Somali Islamist insurgent group Hizbul Islam was shot dead in the capital Mogadishu on Tuesday, witnesses said. Unknown gunmen shot dead Bare Ali Bare in the Bakara market, an insurgent stronghold.

Nobody claimed responsibility for the killing, although Hizbul Islam and main insurgent group al-Shabaab have been at loggerheads in recent months.

Islamist insurgents are battling to oust the weak Western-backed government. They control much of southern and central Somalia.

  1. It's wrong of mainstream news agencies to accuse groups just because there's some tension between two groups.
