Somali army captures suspected Al-Shabaab members
[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali armed forces captured three suspected al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
members during a military operation carried out in the country’s southern Lower Jubba region on Monday.

Speaking to the state-run media, the commander of SNA’s 11 brigade, Mohammed Hassan Badal said the suspects have been trying sneak into Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region...
by traveling on a bus.

A tip-off has led to the arrest of the three alleged murderous Moslems who have been handed over to the security agencies in Kismayo town, he said.

This came more than a week after al-Shabaab attack at a hotel in Kismayo, a coastal city which serves as interim Jubaland state that left 26 people dead, including an American citizen.
