(SomaliNet) The security forces in the transitional federal government arrested three suspected members of Islamist insurgents in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia after they raided a house located in north of the city, sources say on Friday. Local journalist on condition of anonymity said two military pickup trucks carrying heavily armed soldiers stormed last night a house in Jungal village of Yaqshid district where they took away three militants. “The soldiers used force, they broke the front gate of the house with their vehicle and then entered the house, arresting three men suspected to be belonging to those who involve in the violence,” said the journalist.

The raid on the house came through intelligence sources as the government scattered hundreds of spies in the city to pursue what it called ‘the terror groups’. The government sent secret agents to main hospitals and other key places to find information from the activities of the insurgents who are critical to the government and anyone who is suspected to have connections with the officials, according to reliable sources.
