“The suspect is an elderly man and was working as an spy agent for the Al shabaab in the town. We captured him previously after renouncing the group, but now he is back to his job,” said Mohamed.
The troops of the South west state of Somalia have been conducting security operations in the southern town of Diinsoor to flush out Al shabaab remnants, according to military source. |
