Somalia: Muslims murder at least seven people in jihad martyrdom suicide attack at hotel

Dec 24, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“Somali militants claim responsibility for attack outside Somali hotel: spokesman,” Reuters, December 22, 2019:

MOGADISHU (Reuters) – Somali Islamist militant group al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack outside a hotel in the town of Galkayo, in the country’s Mudug region, which killed at least seven civilians, their spokesman told Reuters.

“We are behind the Galkayo blast, it was a martyrdom suicide car bomber that targeted military officials who had a meeting in that place. We killed many soldiers and injured others,” Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab’s military operations spokesman, said on Sunday.

A local military officer said on Saturday that in addition to those killed, dozens more were wounded.

The militant Islamist group controls small sections of the Mudug region, but not Galkayo. It ruled most of south-central Somalia until 2011 when it was driven out of the capital Mogadishu by African Union troops….

    “Muslim” you say? Are you sure it wasn’t “terrorists”, or Palestinians, or “work place violence?” Muslims? Shocked, I tell you!

    Has any intrepid reporter asked Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for her reaction? She seems to have a lot to say about Israel, even if pretty much everything she does say is false or worse. Yet Somalia is the country of her birth and that fact alone should, one would think, make it the more likely focus of her interest and attention than far-away places ruled by Arabs.

      Charlie,

      Surely you understand that President Trump organized and paid for the massacre. You just wait, one way or another, the adulterer rag head will manage to blame the president and the United States. I have said before and still espouse the idea that she should return to her home of origin for a fact finding mission concerning Islamic extremism (oh I forgot that Erdogan said that there is only one Islam; Islam) without a security force from the Embassy in Mogadishu. Her congressional staff has refused to even acknowledge my suggestion for her to conduct such an investigation.

      Omar should be deported back to Somalia, she does not belong in the United States at all.

    ………..

    Hideous, but no surprise. Just look at all the bulwarks around this hotel to try and stop Jihad terror attacks.
