Somaliland: Gunmen shot dead attorney general of Sool region

By Areeb Hasni -

Mogadishu: Unidentified armed assailants killed the attorney general of Sool region for Somaliland administration in Somalia, making the second judge to be killed in northern Somalia in less than a month, media reported on Sunday.

According to reports, unknown gunmen armed with pistols have opened fire on the judge as he was watching Spain vs France match Euro 2012 semi-final at a location in Las’Anod town, the capital city of Sool province in north Somalia.

The governor of Sool region for Somaliland administration Mohammed Ali Geesle told Media that security forces have launched a search operation to find out the attackers behind the murder.

The grounds and the characteristics of the assassins have not yet been conformed. The town of Las’anoda is relatively peaceful area, but has experienced a spark in violence recently, after a land dispute broke out between Puntland, Somaliland and the newly formed Khatumo state of Somalia.
