Somali Army Kills 5 al-Shabaab Militants in Southern Region | METROWATCH

Al-Qaeda linked al-shabab recruits walk down a street on March 5, 2012 in the Deniile district of Somalian capital, Mogadishu, following their graduation. The walls of the former Shebab base in Baidoa, Somalia, are littered with rudimentary drawings of machine guns and tanks, a note reading "Fear God, don't write on these walls" and a sketch of an Al-Qaeda flag, homage to the rebel group's international allies. The crumbling building is now occupied by Ethiopian troops who nearly two weeks ago forced Shebab rebels out of Baidoa, their former Shebab stronghold and Somalia's third-largest city.

The Somali National Army (SNA) killed five al-Shabaab militants and injured several others during a special operation against the extremist group in the Lower Shabelle region of southern Somalia.

Nur Mohamed Gabow, the SNA commander, told Radio Mogadishu that the latest military offensive against the militants was carried out at midnight Wednesday.

This was according to the officials on Thursday.

“We thwarted the terrorist plot by conducting a special operation against terrorists in this region,” Gabow said.

He added that the al-Shabaab fighters were regrouping at the time of the operation even as the government said during a recent briefing.

He said that it had made significant progress in efforts to vanquish the al-Qaida-linked terrorist network in its strongholds of central and southern Somalia.
