From the BBC - Radical Islam in Somalia.

Somali World Cup viewers killed
Islamist fighters in Somalia
The Islamists control much of southern Somalia
Two people are reported dead after Islamist gunmen in central Somalia opened fire in a cinema where people were watching a banned World Cup match.

The cinema owner and a young girl were reportedly killed by militia loyal to the Union of Islamic Courts, who seized control of parts of Somalia last month.

The courts have introduced Sharia law in areas under their authority, including a World Cup broadcast ban.

Pete's Points:

This gives a whole new meaning to the concept of radical Islam!
