2 killed in terrorist drive-by shooting July 23, 2014 Assassination of Somali MP lawmaker Saado Ali Warsame Somali lawmaker Minister of Parliment Saado Ali Warsame renowned for her popular folk singing has been killed along with her driver in a shooting in the Somali capital, Mogadishu in the second such incident this month. A police captain saw gunmen driving in a car following the MP, then they opened fire and killed her instantly. Al-Shabab terrorists took credit for the attack.She was the fourth politician killed this year and the second MP killed in a drive-by attack since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
She sung about uniting Somalia, as Ahmed Ali Said described her as "courageous and patriotic".
Guardian: The singer spent several years in exile in the United States during Somalia's worst years of fighting. "As a singer, songwriter, poet and parliamentarian, Warsame exemplified all the best qualities of Somali culture and tradition," the US State Department said in a statement. "This attack is yet another example of Al-Shebab's disrespect for the principles of peace, justice and compassion that Somalis everywhere are commemorating during the holy month of Ramadan," it added.
