Islamists Arrest People Watching World Cup Match

It can't be long before the left links this to some on the right not caring for the World Cup.

Reports from the city of Afgoye about 30 kilometers south of Somali capital Mogadishu that thirty one (31) world football cup fans were arrested last night have been confirmed by residents and Islamist militants from the city.

The arrests were made when heavily armed militants from the Hezbal radical group raided a house where the fans were watching the match between Germany and Australia.

“Thirty one (31) viewers including older men but mostly youths were jailed by the Islamist administration in Afgoye. My friends and I were watching in a house nearby but we switched off the TV when we heard sounds of gunshots. When we went outside we saw our villagers and neighbours being escorted by masked militants on their way to prison,” one of the city's residents said in a telephone conversation early in Monday.

Sheik Yuusuf Abuu Hamza. an official from the city's Islamist administration confirmed the arrest of world cup fans, accusing them of being guilty against Islam. “They have made a big mistake; they didn’t obey the orders not to watch the un-Islamic event of football so they will face punishment,” the militant official said.

Radical World Cup hater Tim Blair suggests as punishment the captives will be forced to watch the match over again.
