2 Somalis Killed for Watching World Cup

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Radical Islamic militia fighters in Somalia shot and killed two people who were watching a banned World Cup soccer broadcast, a radio station reported Wednesday.

The hard-line Muslim fighters, who have banned watching television, opened fire after a crowd of teenagers defied their orders to leave a hall where a businessman was showing Tuesday's Germany-Italy match on satellite television, according to Shabelle Radio, an independent local station. It said the businessman and a teenage girl were killed.

Hard-line Muslim fighters, who wrested control of the Somali capital from warlords in June, have forbidden people from watching television or movies in line with their strict interpretation of Islam.

This has much more to do with soldiers who have won a war and now don't know what to do with all those guns

It amazes me how someone can claim to enforce something they obviously don't understand!

Somalia soccer shooting arrests

The Somali gunmen who shot dead two people watching a World Cup match have been arrested and will face Islamic justice, an Islamist leader has said.

Hardliner Sheikh Dahir Aweys says the killing of a cinema owner and a young girl was an accident. The gunmen could face the death penalty.

...

Mr Aweys confirmed that the gunmen from a militia loyal to the UIC had arrived to close down the cinema in the town of Dhuusa Marreeb in central Galgadud district, where a crowd had gathered to watch the Germany-Italy World Cup semi-final on Tuesday.

Some of the football fans began to protest and the gunmen fired in the air in an attempt to disperse them.

After this the angry crowd began to throw stones at the militia, who then fired at the demonstrators.

Mr Aweys told the radio station HornAfrik that he had been talking to elders in the area - his home region - and it was agreed that those responsible for killing the football fans would be dealt with by Sharia.

Ha, I have heard 'stories' like this in India when riot cops would "accidentally" shoot people. No one bought it then and I'm not gonna buy it now. Troops and cops go berserk from time to time, sad fact.
