holy warriors, according to reports from local government officials.

The operation, which involved the 175th Division of the 17th Eagle Brigade and the 146th Division of the 14th October Brigade, was launched in the Jowhar-Awdheegle area, approximately 5 kilometers from Awdheegle.

The area has recently seen increased activity from al-Shabaab, with the group reportedly using the location for meetings and planning attacks against civilians.

A government blurb confirmed the success of the operation, stating that it resulted in the elimination of several al-Shabaab members, including senior officers. The release described the murderous Moslems as Khawarij, a term often used in the region to denote rebels or outlaws, particularly those following turban ideologies. # id) ?>
