[DW] Somali security forces have reportedly killed two gunnies who tried to attack a military compound in the capital. The bully boy group al-Shabaab
 ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
has grabbed credit for the attack.
The al-Qaeda-linked gang al-Shabaab grabbed credit for a deadly attack on Wednesday on the international airport complex outside the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Two of the attackers were killed in a firefight with security forces, Somali Police Commissioner Gen. Abdi Hassan Hijar told the Somali National News Agency.
The Rooters news agency citing a diplomatic security memo, said two security guards, thought to be Kenyan nationals and a Somali policeman, were also killed in the incident, while four others were maimed.
ATTACKERS DID NOT GET INTO THE AIRPORT
The attack happened at the heavily fortified Halane base at the Aden Adde International Airport that hosts peacekeepers, the offices of UN organizations, and diplomatic missions.
Police said al-Shabaab murderous Moslems began shooting indiscriminately at one of the entrances to the site. Al-Shabaab said it had also fired mortars into the camp.
