22 June 2011

Bosaso — After extensive security crackdown in Bari region in Somalia's semi-autonomous state of Puntland, more 40 local clan elders arrested by the security forces.

Most of the operations took place in Bosaso, Puntland commercial hub, according to eyewitnesses in the town.

Puntland security officials say the elders were accused of inciting clan related grudges that claimed the lives of so many people.

At least two well-known businessmen were recently killed in the center of port town of Bosaso.

In what the local residents described as revenge attack, armed clan militiamen sprayed worshipers with bullets in a mosque in Somalia's semi-autonomous state of Puntland, killing at least four and wounding two others.
