Hassan Nur a resident in Deynile, said six people died at the spot while the other one died on his way to the hospital.

'It was a horrific scene, blood scattered everywhere,' said witness Yusuf Haji. 'I saw the dead bodies of at least 6 people lying in the middle of the road.'

Yasin Abdulle said 12-year-old was among those shot. 'He was a peace-lover. ... why was he killed?' he wept.

'If the international community does not push the soldiers to stop such wicked acts, the remaining Somalis will die before their eyes.'"
