Somali Shebab kills local lawmaker

MOGADISHU: Somalia’s Shebab shot dead a lawmaker in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday, the latest in a string of assassinations of politicians in the war-torn country.
Adan Haji Hussein, an MP in the semi-autonomous northern Puntland region, was killed on the streets of the capital Mogadishu, where he was visiting, a Shebab spokesman told AFP.
“Our commandos shot and killed Adan for being a member of the apostate adminstration,” Abdulaziz Abu Musab said. “All MPs, whether they are regional or so-called national MPs, we will kill them.”
