Mogadishu (Halbeeg News) – Unknown gunmen Tuesday gunned down four people in Yaaqshid district in Mogadishu.
Reports indicate that the men were operating their shops when the attackers opened fire, killing three of them instantly while one person succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital.
Security forces have launched investigations into the attacks with reports further indicating that the men were targeted because they had installed CCTV cameras at their shops in line with an earlier government directive which was strongly opposed by the Al-Shabaab militant group.
The government directive was intended to crackdown on the militant group extortion ring which was harassing residents of Mogadishu and its environs.
The attack comes amidst raising cases of similar attacks targeting shops with CCTV cameras.
