Al-Shabaab foreign fighters among 70 killed in Bahdo attack
Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
President Ahmed Abdi Karie lauded the national army, authorities, and citizens in Bahdo district for thwarting Friday’s terrorist attack.

Karie described the locals’ resistance against the Death Eaters as "historic," claiming over 70 al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
Death Eaters were killed in the fight.

"Three foreign jihadists among those killed in the battle," he added. "You [locals] have sent a message of courage and defended the dignity of the federal republic of Somalia".

The security forces in Bahdo town have also apprehended a jacket wallah and his undetonated al-Shabaab VBIED. The culprit is pending interrogation, per the state media.
