Thankful Posted August 5, 2009 Allah u naxariisto, I heard this was in retaliation for a killing that happened last week. Sometimes the victim had absolutely nothing to do with it. He(Info Minister) was sent with a government delegation to try in calm the city that has been out of control for the last few months. I can't remember a Puntland minister being assasinated like this. I'll be honest with you, the victims "family" will be furious. They'll be looking for revenge from someone of the killers "family" and it will be someone big. As sad as this sounds, I don't think this is over, unless the killers are found quick and face justice. If not they'll be retaliation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
