Witnesses said two masked men armed with pistols have carried out the assignation against the Al shabab agent as he went out from a mosque in Ufurow village after performing the dawn prayer at about 5:00 p.m. local time on Saturday.
Sources indicated that the victim, whose name has only been released as Abu Salim was one the top militant leaders in Bay region of southern Somalia and his death is a big blow to the Al shabab insurgents-affiliated with Al Qaeda.
The exact motive of the assignation is unclear and the assailants were reported to have escaped from scene of the shooting.
In separate incident, a building engineer was killed by gunmen dressed in military uniform at government controlled Lafole area, located on the outskirts of Mogadishu on Saturday, locals reported.
