The BBC:

Gunmen have shot dead an elderly Italian nun and her bodyguard in the Somali capital Mogadishu.

The attackers shot the nun three times in the back at a children’s hospital in the south of the city, before fleeing the scene. It is unclear if the shooting is connected with strong criticism by a radical Somali cleric about the Pope’s recent comments on Islam.

The nun, who has not been named, is believed to be in her seventies.

It is unclear if the shooting is connected with strong criticism by a radical Somali cleric about the Pope’s recent comments on Islam. There are just so many reasons to shoot an elderly nun in the back at a children’s hospital. No one could hope to sort them all out.
