A Somali intelligence officer was killed on Monday in broad daylight by unknown gunmen as he was riding in his car, sources confirmed.
The attack took place in the Taleh district of the capital Mogadishu, a Somali government officer and some witnesses told Horseed Media without giving further details. The attackers fled after the shooting and no group has yet claimed the responsibility.
But such attacks are always carried out and claimed by the extremist group al-Shabaab.
The shooting came the same day a Somali Central bank employee was also gunned down by unknown gunmen in another neighbourhood as he was heading to his work in the morning.
Mogadishu has witnessed a string of suicide bombings, assassinations and drive-by shootings ever since the al-Qaeda-linked militant group was flushed out of the capital four years ago.
