It is being reported that a British school teacher, her two female Kenyan colleagues and a Somali headmaster have been killed by Islamist militants at a Somalian school, after suspected rebels attacked the central town of Beledweyne.
Motives for the killings are still unclear with a cousin of one of the deceased saying:
"We don't know why they were killed, but it happened when Islamist insurgents briefly took control of Beledweyne town last night."
Over the last year, insurgents have attacked government targets as a response to their 'ousting' from southern and central regions by Ethiopian-backed Somali troops. The violence has seen thousands killed with reports claiming hundreds of thousands have fleed from the region in a bid to escape the unrest.
