Another Day in Somalia, Fresh Fighting and Unlikely Victims

Since this article is talking about Somali gunmen attacking these Muslim priests, obviously the author does not favor the Somalis. The first few paragraphs of the article give the most concrete and important information. As you move down the article, the author goes on to explain relevant information on the town and general area. The author includes enough background information on the attackers and gives the reader a sense of what this region on the world is actually like. However, the author is unable to explain why the Muslims were attacked. This leaves readers to wonder whether the Somali gunmen's attack was random, or provoked. Was it the gunmen causing the trouble, or the Muslim priests?
