So Fred, have you seen this movie?
The terror assault trigged a heavy gun-battle that lasted ‘half hour’ according to security officials in the central Somalia town, Beledweyne.

Mohamed Adey, a police commander in Hiran told the media that security forces fiercely repulsed the night raid.

“[Security] forces demonstrated professionalism in repelling the anti-peace elements. Later on, they fled and we are on manhunt,” said Adey.

Somali government forces alongside African Union peacekeepers are conducting clean-up operations in Beledweyne’s western countryside.
