![]() The problem insurgencies have is that once they actually occupy territory even a half-assed army can throw them out. Then they've got to go back to guerrilla tactics and hope they can "death of a thousand cuts" the army and the government. Tuesday's attack took place at Alanley village, targeting Somali government forces as they were carrying out massive operations aimed to secure the city, after the Al Qaeda-linked Al shabab bully boyz vacated. "The kaboom was a remote controlled land-mine that hit on a vehicle carrying soldiers from Somali government and their Raskomboni militia fighters. At least two soldiers dead following the blast," a resident who asked not to be named, told Shabelle Media Network by phone. No group has yet claimed the responsibility for the attack. In the aftermath of the attack, the situation of the city has returned to normal and public movement and transportations are up and running. |
