Al-Shabaab militants arrested in southern Somalia
|
[Garowe] At least 12 al-Shabaab
 ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
bandidos Lions of Islam were arrested in Baidoa on Sunday, authorities in the southern city of Somalia have confirmed, adding that the individuals are currently being probed to give more details about their discreet mission.
Baidoa is the regional administrative capital of Southwest state which has been struggling with rising numbers of bad boys, who control large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
Mohamud Mohammed Hassan, who is the commander of the intelligence and security agency of Southwest told state media that his forces managed to arrest the terrorist network during the operation.
"We arrested 12 al-Shabaab bandidos Lions of Islam in an operation aimed at ensuring the security of Baidoa town in the Bay region. We are committed to safeguarding our people and candidates during the federal parliamentary elections," Hassan said, adding that the bandidos Lions of Islam were trying to create fear and threat in Baidoa town before they were arrested by the forces.
He added: "We acted swiftly and got hold of them for further interrogation and action. We have established rules that deal with such Lions of Islam and trust me, they will be arraigned in court soonest as prescribed in the rule of law."
The al-Shabaab bandidos Lions of Islam did not comment on the latest security operation in the region but this crackdown comes ahead of parliamentary election in Southwest State, further causing fears that the group may disrupt the exercise.
Al-Shabaab bandidos Lions of Islam have been fighting to topple the fragile UN-backed Somalia administration for over a decade, forcing Somalia to ask for a backup from the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
and the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
. The country is still handling serious instability issues.
