Somalia: Governor Killed In Suicide Bombing Claimed By Al- Shabab by VKconcept(op): 12:50am On May 18, 2020
The governor of the Mudug region in Somalia's Puntland has been killed along with three of his bodyguards in a suicide car bombing claimed by armed group al-Shabab, according to the police and a security official.

"A suicide car bomb hit the governor's car. Governor Ahmed Muse Nur and three of his bodyguards died," police captain Mohamed Osman told the Reuters news agency on Sunday.

Security official Muse Ahmed confirmed the death toll. "There are other casualties but the details are still being investigated," he told AFP news agency.

In late March, the governor of Puntland was killed in similar circumstances.
Al-Shabab has been fighting for years to topple Somalia's internationally-recognised central government and frequently carries out bombings in Somalia and elsewhere in the region. The group wants to establish its own rule in the Horn of Africa country, based on a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

On Sunday, the armed group posted a statement on a pro- Shabab website that said: "The governor of the apostate administration in the Mudug region was killed in a martyrdom operation in Galkayo today."

Galkayo lies about 600km (375 miles) north of Somalia's capital Mogadishu.

Al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda affiliate, was driven out of Mogadishu in 2011 and lost most of its strongholds, but still controls vast swathes of the countryside.

Its members have promised to overthrow the government in Mogadishu and have carried out numerous attacks in the capital.

This is how Book haram should be operating, bombing all those useless Leaders. Not the innocent masses.

Please Nairaland mods should help us take care of those that always preach on every thread forgotten it's not a religious thread. If u want to preach your evangelism, go to the right thread, You may find nothing special in it but there are Muslims and perhaps Atheists on the forum, It's disgusting a times when I see such, not everyone fancy your message, you can keep your evangelism to your brethren. Please try to respect other people's belief too.
There'll always be differences in everyone's belief, we can't all be in the same line. Let's keep our messages to ourselves.
Please Mod take note, some people find all those preachings irritating.

Where is your humanity, You see what religion made you become, it made you care less of other people just because they're not in your sect.

You should care, they're humans like you, and they don't support those terrorists too.

terrorism has a face. Islam.

Alshabsb is fighting to make the country even more Islamic,,, this isnt different from what the previous Somali govt did before.

Ayatollah of Iran killed the Shah and started ruling iran with the koran hence the name Islamic republic of iran.

In Afghanistan the same thing ,,,,,islamic republic of Afghanistan.

Pakistan, Saudi, UAE, and so on thier govt came to power via terrorism.... hence the terrorism stays with them.



And let me ask you a quick question. Yerima that started sharia in nigeria, ishaq akintola, elrufai, buhari, etc do you think they wont be happy if nigeria becomes an Islamic republic,,? These people and majority of northerners all supported bokoharam before buhari assumed power. All because a non-Muslim was president. They will use sharia or terrorism to fight you. It's the muslim way. The Somali governor knew,. What goes around comes around
