Al-Shabaab Attacks Separate Military Bases In Lower Shabelle Region
[RADIOSHABELLE] The Al Qaeda-allied al-Shabaab...  the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...bully boyz have launched well-organized overnight attacks on several Somali military bases in the country’s southern volatile Lower Shabelle region. The first attack took place in Bula-Mareer village after the armed fighters raided a key army outpost, sparking a heavy shootout that raged on for several hours during the night. Similarly, the bully boyz staged another assault against Somali government troops manning a base in Km-50 area in the same region. It’s not clear the figures of the casualties yet. Since the holy month of Ramadan started last week, Al-Shabaab has intensified attacks in the country, mainly in Mogadishu and nearby areas to topple the UN-backed government.
