MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A relative says a Minnesota man has been killed while visiting his native Somalia.
Mukhtar Osman says his cousin, 51-year-old Bashir Ahmed Abdi of Minneapolis, was fatally shot while riding in a car Wednesday in the African nation’s capital, Mogadishu. Osman says Abdi told him he had been invited to Somalia by friends in the government, and that he was staying in the presidential house.
Osman says the married father of four was a lawyer back in Somalia. In Minneapolis, he worked as a businessman.
Osman says family members learned the news in a phone call from one of Abdi’s friends in Somalia. Osman says family members are trying to find out why Abdi was killed.

Man, AUN! I know this guy, he use to own a store in Mall 24, he left Mogadishu in the late 80s and never went back, he is educated and use to be a lawyer, he was sponsored to participate in a meeting in Nairobi and tried to swing by Mogadishu, and the stupid African Unions opened fire at his car, killing him and wounding three others.
