Somali army forces on Monday evening nabbed three suspected Al-Shabaab operatives in a military operation carried out in the country’s southern Lower Jubba region.
According to the commander of Somali army’s 11 brigade, Mohamed Hassan Badal the terror suspects were trying sneak into Kismayo by traveling on a bus.
Following on intelligence tip-off the government forces intercepted the bus and captured the three alleged terror operatives and subsequently handed them over to the security agencies in Kismayo for debrief.
The arrest came barely two weeks after Al-Shabaab attack at a hotel in Kismayo, a Jubaland state coastal city that left 26 people dead, including an American national.
