Militiamen loyal to Somali Islamic Courts on Friday raided a wedding party, beat a woman, and confiscated musical instruments in the capital Mogadishu as they enforced a ban on band music, officials and witnesses said yesterday. Around 20 heavily-armed militiamen stormed a house in Mogadishu's Huriwa neighborhood, fired shots in the air and confiscated musical instruments from a band entertaining guests at the wedding party, they said. Organizers said the militiamen said the band was performing "satanic" music contrary to the teachings of the Qur'an.| "And don't let us catch any of youse guys havin' no fun again!" |
