...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...terrorist group carried out two simultaneous attacks in Mogadishu's southern suburbs on Wednesday, officials said, amid an ongoing crackdown against the Death Eaters, who control large swathes of rural settlements in the Horn of Africa nation.
Wednesday morning attack left three soldiers dead and several others injured, following a shootout between security forces and al-Shabaab forces of Evil in Kahda district, southern Mogadishu, security officials said, while confirming the deadly attack.
Police reports indicate that the battle between the two parties ensued at midnight, around 1:40 a.m. on Wednesday after the al-Shabaab targeted four areas within Kahda District in the Banadir region. Areas targeted are the cop shoppe, the local administrative headquarters, and two security outposts, eyewitnesses said.
According to officials, the heaviest attack targeted the cop shoppe where the forces of Evil detonated a boom-mobile. Police personnel fought back and repelled the Death Eaters. The forces of Evil then fired several bazookas at the station as they retreated, the Voice of America reports.
Kahda lies at the southern edge of Mogadishu, neighbouring Lower Shabelle region areas such as Gandarshe, Elasha, and Arbacow where the forces of Evil can sneak in to carry out attacks. The area is prone to deadly al-Shabaab attacks within the capital, Mogadishu.
