MOGADISHU, Somalia (UPI) -- Gunmen opened fire on people leaving a
mosque in Mogadishu, Somalia, killing a U.N. official and wounding
another, officials said.
Osman Ali Ahmed, head of the U.N. development program in Mogadishu,
was shot as he left the mosque after evening prayers, CNN said. He
died of his wounds at a nearby hospital.
Ahmed apparently was the target of the attack, an official with the
U.N. program told CNN. No one has claimed responsibility for the
shooting.
A family member said Ahmed's son and another man were wounded,
Somaliweyn Media Center reported.
The shooting occurred a day after an explosion killed a Somali
official, his wife and four other people in Mogadishu, the media
center reported. On June 21, Hassan Mohamed Ali, head of the U.N. High
Commissioner for Refugees' office in Mogadishu, was kidnapped from his
home on the outskirts of the city.
