Unidentified gunmen fired on worshippers at two mosques in Somalia's self-proclaimed state of Puntland, killing at least six people and wounding dozens, residents and security officials.Residents believe the attacks targeted mosques run by al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab rebels, blamed for a roadside bombing a few hours before that killed a prominent cleric who was also a senior Puntland government official.
The mosque attacks on Saturday evening and Sunday morning in Galkayo killed a total of six people, prompting local authorities to order all mosques in the town to close temporarily for fear of further attacks, Reuters reports.
