Al_shabab Wallahi I won't politically rest until this group and their supporters go 6 feet under. At the moment they are below the level of an Animal. The Ethiopian can fock these guys in the ass wallahi because they are a shamed to Somalia oo dhan.
Why would one kill their own blood in such a way?

9 Somali police officers slaughtered MOGADISHU, Somalia June 26 (Garowe Online) - The bodies of nine officers working for Somalia's police force were found inside a police station in the capital Mogadishu Wednesday, a senior police official said.
Col. Abdullahi Hassan Barise, a Mogadishu police official, told reporters that some of the nine dead bodies had their "throats slit," including the body of the Daynile district deputy police commander.
All the prisoners inside the Daynile station jail were released during a one-hour period when the attackers maintained control of the police post, he added.
Al Shabaab insurgents waging war on Somalia's UN-recognized interim government and its Ethiopian military allies are responsible for the killings, Col. Barise said.
It was the worst act of violence committed against Somali police officers since the ongoing insurgency began more than 17 months ago.
Also, insurgents launched attacks against Ethiopian troops and African Union peacekeepers in Hodan district.
Locals said the fighting was raging Wednesday afternoon, although casualties could not be ascertained.
Mogadishu-based Elman Human Rights group issued a report today estimating that 2,136 civilians have been killed in the Somali capital so far this year, in addition of more than 8,600 who died last year. [ Full story]
Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991 and the current transitional authority is the 14th attempt to restore national order.
