...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...in Barire and Sabid, Lower Shabelle region in response to rising raids on SNA and AU bases.
NISA said the troops killed al-Shabaab and seized his AK-47 riffle during the covert operation that comes weeks after holy warriors attack UPDF base in Bulo-Marer town.
"NISA carried out a planned operation in Macalinka village located between Barire and Sabid within Lower Shabelle region, and killed an al-Shabaab fighter," reads the statement.
The Intelligence agency added that the operation will continue in the region with attempt to flush out al-Shabaab and avert their plots to carry out attacks in Lower Shabelle region.
The region is among the areas, where al-Shabaab has bases and often conducts attacks targeting Somali and AU military bases as part of its insurgency aimed to topple the FGS.
