Islamic militants have shot and killed a Somali Christian woman because she declined to wear a veil as prescribed by Muslim custom.
Members of the Suna Waljameca group killed Amina Muse Ali, 45, on October 19 in her home in Galkayo, in Somalia's autonomous Puntland region, said Compass Direct News, a well-informed Christian news agency.
