Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the assassination of the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation in the government of the former head of Hirshabelle state, Mohamed Abdi Wari, on Sunday, in the Yaqshid district of the capital, Mogadishu.
According to an official in the Hirshebeli administration, armed men with pistols shot and killed Hassan Ahmed Modi, shortly after he left a mosque where he was performing the Asr prayer.
The assassination, which the Somali security services did not comment on, came as part of the security problems raised by the Al-Shabaab movement, which is linked to Al-Qaeda in Mogadishu.
