...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them...Lions of Islam have suffered massive setbacks in the latest crackdown spearheaded by the Somali National Army [SNA] with assistance from foreign partners, state media reported, just days after the group targeted two Forward Operating Bases in the country.
In a joint operation within Lower Shabelle, the al-Shabaab had 19 fighters losing their lives with several others believed to have been injured in the offensive carried out on Saturday within Lower Shabelle.
Not exactly a massive setback, but certainly respectable.
Those injured are under the custody of the military, state media noted. According to state-owned media, the joint operation took place today in the Bulo Mohammed Abdalla area, located within the Awdhegle district, following an intelligence report received by the National Intelligence and Security Agency. The government hailed locals for giving tips.Several vehicles and weapons belonging to the group were destroyed with the army managing to neutralize the Lions of Islam from all fronts. So far, the group which usually reports operations against the army and foreign troops, is yet to confirm losses inflicted on them by the national army.
