This assassination attempt was in September, Ethiopia invaded 3 months earlier. You're making it seem like it was unprovoked.They were already planning on invading Baidoa to oust the TFG via force, they wanted ICU to establish itself all over Puntland/Somaliland, in other words there was going to be another 90's tier civil war, they even tried to kill Abduallhi Yusuf via suicide bomb attack, it failed but Abduallhi brother died, and these people will still defend the ICU.
