... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...holy warriors, the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) reported on Saturday.
The operation, which spanned over 12 hours, also injured several other murderous Moslems, according to NISA’s statement.
The targeted strike was aimed at a known gathering point for al-Shabaab, including senior commanders, as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle the group’s infrastructure and prevent attacks on civilians and government forces. NISA highlighted that the mission was a significant blow to al-Shabaab’s operations in the region.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
there has been no independent verification of these claims, and some security experts express caution about the figures provided by NISA, noting that al-Shabaab’s statements often differ significantly from government reports.
Despite this, the operation underscores the continued military engagement against al-Shabaab, which has maintained a presence in Somalia despite years of international and local efforts to eradicate the group.
The Middle Shabelle region has been a focal point for such military actions due to its strategic importance and the presence of al-Shabaab activities. This operation is part of a broader strategy to secure rural areas and disrupt the holy warrior group’s plans to destabilize the government and carry out attacks.
