At least five Pakistanis have been killed in a dawn attack at a mosque on the border of Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region, witnesses say.
Armed men in masks entered a mosque in Galkayo and ordered six Pakistanis and one Somali outside, they said.
The gunmen then opened fire, killing five men and seriously injuring two.
Those targeted are said to be Muslim preachers. Puntland has been tense recently, but the reason for the latest attack is unclear.
The Pakistanis are thought to be missionaries from an Islamic branch called Tabliq who arrived in Galkayo on Tuesday.
last time they were there...they were killed by these african...
They are from the tablighi jamaat. These guys go all over the world, irrespective of the nature of the host country.
They were out on dawa, so they laid their lives in the path of Allah SWT. Its so sad that the worst of the situations out there exist in Muslim countries. Its just one banana republic after another.
You missed the point. Pakistanis will go to modern countries like Australia for obvious reasons. Going to a country at war like Somalia or Afghanistan makes no sense as a civllian.

by that logic people should stop visiting pakistan too, since it is not "modern" and war torn.
