A 13-YEAR-OLD boy was killed and three others wounded overnight when
Somali Islamic militia raided a cinema hall in southern Mogadishu to
break up a crowd watching an English premier league match, witnesses
said.

They said the militiamen aboard machinegun-mounted pickups stormed
Duale Cinema in Bulo-hubey district where hundreds were watching the
Chelsea-Liverpool match and opened fire, killing the boy as others
scampered for safety.

They also smashed a television set and satellite-link equipment.

"I saw armed men pouring into the cinema hall and minutes later they
opened fire indiscriminately, killing one and wounding three others,
including my younger brother," Idris Abdi Taqtar, a witness, said.

Another fan Mohamed Jeeyte said the slain boy lay in a pool of blood
outside the cinema hall.

The Islamists confirmed the death, but blamed the fans for sparking
the violence when they blocked militiamen from entering the hall to
implement a ban on cinema halls in Mogadishu.

"They started violent protest and fired bullets at the Islamic
militias and we returned fire," said Ise Mohamed, a commander for 
the Islamic gunmen.

"They tried to prevent the Islamic court carry out its duties by
making violence so that we have dispersed them with gunfire," he 
said.
