The Al-Hidaya Mosque massacre occurred on April 20, 2008, when Ethiopian soldiers killed 21 worshippers, including an Imam and several Islamic scholars, at a mosque in Mogadishu, Somalia. During the attack, 41 school children at the mosque were abducted and detained for several days at a nearby military base by troops from the Ethiopian National Defence Force. The massacre inflamed the rising anti-Ethiopian insurgent movement.^[1]
