Al-Shabaab attacks strategic town near Somali capital
2024-04-08
[Garowe] al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
murderous Moslems raided the National Intelligence Security Agency (NISA) base in Bal'ad town near the Somali capital, Mogadishu, sources say, in the latest attack which comes at the time Somalia is fighting violent mostly peaceful extremism.

According to multiple sources, the murderous Moslems targeted three checkpoints and a security office in the town. After the raid, reports indicate, the murderous Moslems started retreating from the town to strategic areas perhaps awaiting a response from the national army.

Photos taken from the scene of the Saturday morning attack show a badly destroyed NISA building where al-Shabaab had detonated their explosives leading to the damage. al-Shabaab claims their fighters entered the station and "most" of the town’s neighbourhoods.

Local sources now say the murderous Moslems are retreating, but the number of casualties remains unknown. The murderous Moslems have been on rampant onslaught as most Moslems in the country observe the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The murderous Moslems are also facing onslaught from the Somali National Army who are assisted by the US Africa Command and the African Union

Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS). The collaboration has left thousands of murderous Moslems dead.

In 2021, al-Shabaab murderous Moslems attacked the town of Bal’ad, 30 km north of Mogadishu. At least six people were killed including two civilians. Army commanders said nine murderous Moslems were also killed in the attack.

The murderous Moslems briefly entered the town before security forces repulsed them, police said at that time. The al-Shabaab have lost strategic towns in the country following the crackdown which will be spread to Jubaland and Southwest states in the coming months.
Shabelle Media adds:
The attack resulted in casualties, with at least four government soldiers confirmed dead by residents. The Al-Shabaab fighters reportedly engaged in a face-to-face attack and utilized a suicide car bomb during their assault on the army bases.

Witnesses and local sources reported that the militants withdrew from the town following the attack. Qasim Furdug, the commissioner of Bal’ad said 11 militants were killed.
