...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...gunnies continued with their onslaught in Somalia, targeting innocent civilians and security forces, despite solid efforts to reclaim the country from the terror group which has been dominant for over a decade.
A top security official said at least four people were killed on Monday after a rickshaw they were traveling in hit an Improvised Explosive Device [IED] in Jowhar city of Southern Somalia on Monday.
The official who spoke in condition of anonymity to the media added that the incident took place at Hansholey village in the regional administrative capital of Hirshabelle in the Middle Shabelle region.
Military personnel, the official added, usually frequent the road thus the gunnies were probably targeting them. The al-Shabaab controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia according to reports by the US Africa Command.
