| Somali security forces have launched a large-scale security operation in the Somali town of Bulo Burde, targeting suspected Al shabaab members hiding themselves in the city, reports said on Sunday. Area Security officials said that nearly 100 people were rounded up in the sweep, and pending for investigations before trying them for indefinite accusations. The local officers foiled bomb attacks by Al shabaab as they removed three land-mines from the ground of the city’s main livestock market on Saturday. The security agencies of Somali federal government are struggling deadly attacks by the Al-Qaeda linked Al shabaab for years, since the militants were driven out of the capital, Mogadishu in 2011. |
