Joojinta qaadka: Wadashaqaynta hay’adda Safer Bristol iyo bulshada Soomaaliyeed
Hay’adda Safer Bristol waxay bulshada Soomaaliyeed ee magaalada ku nool kala sii shaqaynayasay sidii loo maarayn lahaa saamaynta joojinta qaaadku bulshada ku yeelanayo marka ay berri (24 June) dawladdu go’aankeedii dhaqan geliso

The existence of evidence for both of these claims has not being made public – if they actually exist – by police and, in any case, both men ought to have gone to the authorities first to disclose it before approaching the media. Because going to the media first could have easily driven dangerous terrorists to underground and endangered civilian lives. Read the full article
