Somalia: Islamic group murders four in jihad attack on presidential palace

Feb 26, 2016 10:33 am By Robert Spencer

“We pounded mortar shells on the so-called presidential palace,” said Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab’s military spokesman. Why? “The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab frequently targets government buildings, hotels and security forces in Mogadishu in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government.” What kind of government do they want to install? Reuters doesn’t think that is an important detail, when in fact it is the only important detail, as it reveals why this conflict is going on at all. Al Shabaab wants an Islamic state ruled by Sharia. They will keep on murdering people until they get it, or are stopped by force.

“Islamist mortar attack kills four in Somali capital – police,” Reuters, February 25, 2016:

The Somali Islamist group al Shabaab killed four people and injured eight others on Thursday in a mortar attack near the presidential palace in the capital Mogadishu, police and a spokesman for the group said.

The group had targeted the palace but the mortars went off some distance away, ending up about 300 metres from the nearby house of parliament.

“We pounded mortar shells on the so-called presidential palace,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab’s military spokesman, told Reuters.

Major Mohamed Nur, a Somali police officer, confirmed the number of dead and injured.

The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab frequently targets government buildings, hotels and security forces in Mogadishu in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government. Somalia is struggling to emerge from two decades of chaos.

    What is the objective? End of all governments save that of sharia rule administered by Imams. If it happens, wait and see Imams at wars with one another.

    Pure Islam, pure action, pure stupidity.

    “We pounded mortar shells on the so-called presidential palace,” said the idiots.

    Well, you must have been feeling real lucky, pal, because the presidential palace is going to send some so-called 500-lb. gorillas to find you fellows to make sure there’s no trace of you left.

    ‘Action: reaction’…a simple concept…except for those with the average Somalian national IQ of 70.

    Saying that the government is not in control seems like an understatement…
