Somalia's Islamic militants kill two for watching football match | | Islamic militants have killed two Somali football fans after they caught them watching World Cup football matches. The Hizbul Islam group militants stormed
a house near the capital Mogadishu where people were watching Nigeria play Argentina
on Saturday and killed two people. The areas of southern and central Somalia controlled
by the Islamic militants are under a strict version of Islam. The group also arrested
ten people for watching the match. The next night, another 30 people were arrested
as they watched the Germany-Australia game in the town of Afgoye, The Telegraph
reports. Sheikh Mohamed Abdi Aros, a spokesman for the militants, said Somalia
should respect their ban on the World Cup and focus on pursuing jihad. "We are
warning all the youth of Somalia not to dare watch these World Cup matches," he
said. "It is a waste of money and time and they will not benefit anything or get
any experience by watching mad men jumping up and down," he added. |
