Gunmen attack army base in northern Mogadishu
2016-03-30
Armed men believed to Al shabaab members have attacked a Somali army base in northern Mogadishu on Monday night, the latest in series of assaults on Government troops and AMISOM in the capital.

The attack began after the assailants using machine guns and rocket propelled grenades launchers stormed the military base located in Suqa Holaha, a volatile area in Mogadishu’s Huriwa district.
This is 'light and desultory fighting' in the Associated Press stylebook...
There were no immediate official details about the casualty figures as result of the night-time attack on military base in Suqa Holaha village in Huriwa district.

No group has yet claimed credit for the attack, but Al shabaab militants usually carry out such daring attacks on army bases and government institutions in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu.
