Warlord Ordered Mass Killings in Kismayu Ahead of U N Troop Arrival
Diplomats and aid workers say Col Omar Jess, a southern Somalia warlord, ordered door to door slayings of up to 200 rival Harti clan members before U S and Belgian forces arrived in Kismayu on December 20. Reports say violence continues at a reduced pace. Dozens died, including religious leaders and doctors, with killings occurring nightly as clans vie for power.
