[Religious Intelligence] 1 Oct 2008--The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC) (www.persecution.org) has reported that a Muslim mob attacked a house church in Tayeglow, a town 198 miles from Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital.

Dozens of Muslims, including children and women, demolished the church and attacked the Christians worshipping at the church with spears, machetes, sticks and stones. Two elders of the church, Mr Faysal Amin, 50, and Mr Mubarak Hussein, 45 [not real names for security reasons], suffered serious injuries as a result of the attack.

The attack was probably in response to the conversion of the only son of a prominent Muslim religious leader in the district.
