Mogadishu 17, Sep. 06 ( Sh.M.Network) - Unidentified gunmen are reported to have raided Mogadishu’s SOS hospital and gunned down one of the foreign nuns in the hospital.
Reliable sources say the nun, thought to be an Italian, is confirmed dead. A bodyguard of the nun instantly died after he was fatally shot by two men reportedly armed with handguns.
Reports also indicate that the two assailants have been nabbed by armed guards within SOS hospital.
Six other suspects have also arrested as one of the Islamic Courts leaders Sheik Yusuf Indho-adde told reporters.
The motive of the attack remains unknown.
There has been a call for a demonstration against Pope Benedict XVI comment’s on Islam that sparked anger in all Muslim world by some Somali educated clerics. However, it is clearly not known if this fatal attack has anything to do with that.
This is the first time an Italian in SOS Somalia has been shot dead. The report over SOS attack is still sketchy as no reporters are allowed entry to SOS compound.
If I were to hazard a guess, their motto would be, "Sisters, lock, load and make them holy!"
The CNN' website story on this writes it in such a way as the "Pope is a Suspect in the Murder of a Nun" You can not make this stuff up!
Amen to that!
I've had enough of this nonsense from the Islamic "leadership". They need to condemn this killing, not explain it away, or otherwise forfeit any consideration by civilised society.
That kind of punishment would take some of the fun out of being a Muslim murderer of innocents.
Jimmy Carter, The Clintons and friends would never stand for this, even if saved 100's or 1,000's of innocent lives at a later time.

Thank you for the name for our prayers, Sister Leonella. The Lioness of Mogadishu still
I love it.Nuns with guns:)
Cowards. Bill Maher will probably call them heroes. The silence from the world's religious and secular leaders is horrendous.
...except for PM Merkel..She's the only one on the secular side with a pair.
Bingo! That is the problem.. Thanks to the Liberals of the World the Islamofascists have no Fear of us.
Another martyr/saint goes to heaven.
Oh, no. And the Pope basically apologized, which I wish he hadn't done.
He was quoting a 14th century philosopher. These monsters just look for an excuse to riot and kill.
Hi Mad. Nice to see you back with us. Your input on issues have been missed
anyone civilized , christian and caring should get out of islamic hellholes and let islam provide medical care.
Heck, all this time I have thought of him as a spiritual leader.
He is a leader who has spoken the truth, unlike the Chamberlain type girly boys who are wimpish political leaders in so many countries today.
Possible CNN link to Extremist islam coverup
No Peach, I dont' think he apologized for what he quoted. He said he regrets the reactions those words have prompted. IOW, he's said he regrets the quote made their heads explode.
I haven't read anywhere that he said "I'm sorry I read that".
Have you?
It occurs to me that your observation could apply with equal accuracy to the political left.
