Fierce Clashes Erupt as U.S.-Trained Special Forces Target Militant Stronghold in Somalia
|
[Garowe] The Danab Special Forces — a Special Operations contingent of the Somali National Army (SNA), which is trained by Americans, initiated operations in Jubaland, leading to the death of several fighters linked to the al-Shabaab
 ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
krazed killers.
According to reports, the Danab Special Forces targeted Bulo Haji town which is located a few kilometres from the strategic town of Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region....
, which is the regional administrative capital of Jubaland state.
The fighting took place around Maqoqaha area, approximately 13 kilometres from Bulo Haji. The bandidos faceless myrmidons engaged in fierce festivities with the special operations team, leading to many casualties, which were reported.
Military officials said at least 37 bandidos faceless myrmidons were killed in the raid and several others were maimed. The krazed killers' arsenals were also destroyed beyond repair, officials said, while maintaining that the victory against the group was resounding.
But the al-Shabaab fighters said they repelled the attack by the Danab Special Forces, killing six US-trained troops and wounding 13 others. The claims could not be verified independently, given that the group is fond of spreading propaganda.
Danab Special Forces are trained and equipped by the US Africa Command, which nurtures the military within the country. The US has signified the possibility of withdrawing support for the Somali National Army, with the funding reportedly getting significantly slashed.
