Relatives and elders protesting the deaths of 10 Somali civilians allegedly killed in a raid by Somali and U.S. troops say the bodies of the victims will not be buried until the perpetrators apologize. More than 300 Somali community leaders and relatives of the dead accused Somali troops, accompanied by U.S. military advisors, of having killed the 10 civilians during a raid on a farm early Friday in Bariire, 55 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu. “Until the government admits the victims were innocent civilians and its troops killed, we will not bury them,” said Ibrahim Qureysh, a relative of 60-year-old Ali Ibrahim.
