I find it hard to believed that this is a accident. Abdullahi Sheikh Abbas, looks like he has a bright future in political in the war torn country Somalia. But was cut short by this apparent accident. They should have known that the car is carrying a cabinet member inside, because for sure there would be like identifying mark that this car belong to a cabinet member. I think investigation should be rolling and identify the motivation behind the shooting. And punish those who killed Abdullahi Sheikh Abbas. Its a sad story knowing that he came from a refugee camp and finished high there and pursue his love for his country by serving only to cut short by the shooting.

I am sure there are people who planned this whole incident and for a big reason related to politics or maybe the victim is really posing a threat to someone's position that is why he was eliminated early on. We are living in a world where respect for life and human rights are slowly dying everyday. Gone are those days when people do fully respect each other and that life is given much more prominence and not just another thing to snap at at someone's order.

Abbas Abdullahi, public works and reconstruction minister, dies after bodyguards for auditor general shoot at his car.

Bodyguards for Somalia's auditor general shot dead a government minister in an apparent accident near the presidential palace in Mogadishu on Wednesday evening, police said.

Auditor general Nur Farah's bodyguards opened fire on a car carrying Abbas Abdullahi Sheikh Siraji, the public works and reconstruction minister, near a checkpoint close to the palace, said police captain Mohamed Hussein.

Senior Somali security member Mohamed Hassan told the German news agency that the minister's bodyguards had falsely identified Farah, who was travelling in a bulletproof vehicle, as a threat and there had been an exchange of gunfire.

Several of Siraji's bodyguards were wounded in the incident, according to Hassan. Another minister who was in the car with Siraji survived.

The auditor general escaped unharmed.

Security concerns are high in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, as the al-Shabab armed group continues to target the palace, military facilities and hotels with suicide car bombings and other attacks.
