MOGADISHU |
Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:45am EST
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - A Somali man who worked for the aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres shot dead a foreign aid worker and wounded another at the group's office in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Thursday, an MSF official and the police said.
Police spokesman Abdullahi Barise said the gunman had been taken into custody. A Reuters witness said the man was dragged from the building, still holding a pistol.
"The man was armed with a pistol and we understand he had a quarrel with the coordinator. It is very shocking," Barise said. He said the gunman had worked as a logistics officer for the agency.
The MSF official, who declined to be named, also said the Somali gunman had worked for the aid agency. An MSF nurse said the wounded aid worker had been taken to hospital.
MSF said in a statement: "We confirm that a serious shooting incident has taken place in the MSF compound in Mogadishu. At this point we don't have more information about the scale and the extent of this incident. MSF is doing everything it can to ensure the security of its staff."
MSF, or Doctors Without Borders, operates in a number of locations in Somalia, providing emergency aid to people suffering from famine and the violence that has plagued the Horn of Africa nation for decades.
The attack happened in a bustling part of the capital which is under the control of government and African Union troops.
