Ali Mohammed Gedi is the Prime Minister of Somalia. Right now Somalia has a transitional federal government.
On June 3, 2007 terrorist used a suicide car bomb that heavily damaged his house, and killed seven of his bodyguards and a few civilians. Two suicide bombers blew up their pickup truck which was packed with explosives outside the gate of Gedi’s Home.
Prime Minister Gedi has called on the international community to help Somalia to fight the terrorists. He said “And the Somali troops supported by the Ethiopian and AMISOM (African Union Mission in Somalia) will wipe out the terrorist. Terrorists will have no heaven in our country.”
Police arrived at the scene, but they were not much help. They fired their guns in every direction and killed five civilians and wounded five others.
All business was closed down; government troops were everywhere. “They are firing shots into the air. We are terrified,” said Aabdi Ussein a shopkeeper Bakara.
