Somalia: Four teachers killed by Islamists

British teacher among four killed by Islamists.

What do you want to bet it has something to do with teaching girls? (Although it could also just be because there were infidels in their midst - hard to tell these days with the Religion of Peace.) 15 men with machine guns stormed the house where they were staying, dragged them out, abducted them and then shot them in cold blood. Witnesses said the Islamist fighters did not meet any resistance from government troops because they abandoned the town when the Islamists stormed it.

A British school teacher, her two female Kenyan colleagues and a Somali headmaster were killed in an overnight attack in central Somalia blamed on Islamist insurgents, witnesses said Monday.

The four were killed when suspected rebels attacked and briefly took control of Beledweyne, the capital of Somalia's Hiraan region located about 300 kilometres (187 miles) north of the capital Mogadishu.


In an unrelated attack, Islamists threw a hand grenade into a crowded cinema also killing four. (They were watching a Bollywood film.)
