| More Details are emerging in a deadly fighting between Al shabaab militants and Somali national army (SNA) in the strategic town of Qoryooley of Lower Shabelle region. The armed confrontation broke out when heavily armed militants with the Al Qaeda-linked Al shabaab attacked on Monday night a military base in the town manned by SNA. Confirming the incident, the deputy commissioner of Qoryoley said during an interview with Radio Shabelle that SNA warded off the attack and inflicted heavy losses on Al shabaab fighters. Meanwhile, Al shabaab said on its online sites that their combatants killed unspecified number of Govt Soldiers in the attack in Qoryoley, 120Kms North-west of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. In March, 2014, Somali National Army backed by African Union forces overran Al Shabaab outposts and captured the key town of Qoryooley in Lower Shabelle region. |
