Ethiopian Troops Behead Somali Civilians Near Mogadishu

The Ethiopian military in Somalia continue to their rampage and terror.  They once again detained unarmed civilians and beheaded them, then put them out on the streets as to make example of them.
 
The ruthless terrorist acts happened in an area between Afgoye, where the TFG and Ethiopian troops currently control, and Mogadishu.  As witnesses say, the Tigrey army stopped a car full of civilians on Thursday evening then escorted the passengers to an unknown location where they apparently tortured them overnight.  Early Friday morning on August 15, the same passengers were found dead, 8 of them beheaded in a nearby street in between Mogadishu and Afgooye town.
 
So far, no reports of investigation on the matter and no one from the TFG appeared to be interested to discuss the civilian murders.  Also, there is no official news release from the Ethiopian troops on why they tortured then beheaded the Somali civilians.
 
This is not the first time the Ethiopian Tigrey men killed and beheaded unarmed Somali civilians.  On May 8th 2008, the Ethiopian troops killed 17 Somali civilians. About two weeks prior to that day, on April 23rd, Ethiopian army slit the throats of 20 Somali clerics in a mosque.  On Sunday July 13, several young men were executed by Ethiopian troops and TFG militia in Mogadishu and its surroundings.
 
The Ethiopian invasion of Somalia is funded by the Bush government under the cover of fighting terror in East Africa.  Political observers say the U.S. Agenda in Somalia is far more deeper than just plain old war on terror.
