Al-Shabaab Claims Credit For Mortar Attack On AU Base In Mogadishu
2020-04-22
[RADIOSHABELLE] Several mortar shells landed at the heavily fortified Halane base camp which houses AU forces headquarters in Mogadishu on Sunday evening.

A source within the facility told Radio Shabelle the shelling hit the facility and that there were a number of casualties.

The bad boy group al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
grabbed credit noting it fired 9 mortar shells.

The attack comes barely two weeks after a similar one in March.

A foreign national was reportedly injured in the shelling.
