Al-Shabaab bases destroyed in central Somalia
[Garowe] The government of Somalia has confirmed the destruction of three suspected al-Shabaab

bases in central regions, in the latest crackdown which targets the Lions of Islam in areas that were not covered in the first phase of operations against the Lions of Islam within Galmadug and HirShabelle states.

Backed by international partners, the government of Somalia said the local troops waged an operation at Galhareri District within Galmadug which led to the destruction of three al-Shabaab bases where the Lions of Islam had been retreating once they attacked civilians and members of security forces.

Within these bases, authorities said, the Lions of Islam have been preparing explosives and were partly being used as warehouses for weapons and medical equipment. The al-Shabaab enjoys services from medical practitioners, some kidnapped from far areas to assist in offering treatment.

Also actively participating in the crackdown were local militia who have been mobilized in recent weeks to help neutralize the Lions of Islam whose presence in central Somalia and southern parts has been a major bother to the country. # id) ?>
