Al Shabaab Militants Kill Elderly Disabled Woman In Central Somalia :

Belet-weyne, Somalia (AHN) - Militants from the Al Shabaab terror group on Wednesday opened fire on a business center, killing an old woman and wounding another person in the town of Belet-weyne in central Somalia, local residents said Thursday.
Dhuubo Garweyne, 70, who was reportedly mentally ill, was shot and killed by two teenagers from Al Shabaab. Witnesses said that the two militants ordered the woman to perform the Zuhur prayer before the regular time. An argument ensured, and one of the teens began to beat her. She tried to defend herself by catching the stick he was beating her with. The other teen shot her several times in the head and chest.
Locals told government-owned Radio Mogadishu the bullets passed through the woman's body and wounded another woman.
Al Shabaab has not yet commented on the incident. But residents expressed a deep concern about repeated arbitrary killings of civilians.
It is not the first slaying against civilians. In mid-September, four persons were killed and more than 12 injured as Hizbul Islam militants were reported to have opened fire in the Haradhere district in Somalia's Mudug region. The shootings occurred when a group of people protested at a public square where the militants were beating the village’s teenagers, whom the militants accused of watching pornographic videos on their mobile phones. Pregnant woman and children were among those killed.
Recently, Al Shabaab executed two Somali women in Belet-weyne. The two women were accused of spying for the Somali government.
