Gunmen Attack U.N. Aid Agency in Somalia
Unidentified gunmen broke into a World Food Program compound in the southern city of Baidoa, killing one Somali and wounding another, U.N. officials said Sunday.
A senior U.N. military official said it was premature to blame the Saturday night attack on Muslim extremists, but that U.N. analysts suspect the shootings may be part of a larger campaign against non-Muslim aid agencies.
The official, who spoke on condition his name not be published, would not specify what information the United Nations possesses about threats by Muslim extremists.
