Shaboobs raid Bossaso police compound
|
BOSSASO, Somalia -- Somalia’s Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab group claimed credit for raid on police compound in the Gulf of Aden port city of Bossaso, Garowe Online reports.
| Why on earth is it that police stations in Somalia and the Middle East can't be defended? |
In a statement released online, the militant group said at least three of their fighters targeted Balade police station in New Bossaso neighborhood with rocket propelled grenades.
Meanwhile, Bari regional police commander Abdihakin Yusuf Hussein said on VOA Somali service that station commander sustained minor injuries in the attack.
Al Shabaab claims come two months after similar assault left a soldier wounded, and pick-up truck destroyed at Balade police compound.
Militants honed military-style ambushes and night raids in Puntland’s most populous city, Bossaso. The port city has been grappling with large influx of migrants fleeing from Yemen civil war.
