was preparing to attack Somali military bases in Harardhere Town.
The raid came following a tip-off from local residents who spotted the two boom-mobiles en route to the newly liberated coastal city.
Harardhere DC confirmed the incident to Radio Shabelle by phone, adding that all Death Eaters who were plotting the suicide kaboom killed on the spot.
Al-Shabaab lost the key town last month to Somali army during an offensive supporting by the US military and local residents.
Harardhere served as nerve financial center and command base for 15 years and its loss dealt major blow to the group.
