hideouts on the outskirts of the newly liberated Gal’ad in Galgadud region, authorities said.
During the planned operation, the elite forces regained control of El-Haji and El-Dhigtar from al-Shabaab as confirmed by the commander of the 7th division of the army.
Mahdi Iman, the commander said Gorgor troops unearthed landmines and defused them on the spot, averting a kaboom aimed at targeting the military personnel in the operation.
He added that Gorgor along with local clan militia will continue the crackdown on the holy warriors, who suffered defeats in recent military operation conducted in Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
The situation was tense due to the military movement in the small villages around Gal’ad town, which are under al-Shabaab control with presence of hundreds of fighters.
The Gorgor battalion of the Somali National Army unearthed explosives following an operation Tuesday morning in Gal’ad district in Galgadud region.
The battalion said in a statement its forces unearthed the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) buried on the road in Eel Haji and Eel Dhiigtaan areas of Gala’d district.
The 7th and 9th units, the 18th battalion of the GorGor commando, carried out a special operation in the areas of El-Haji and El-Dighitaar under the Galcad District of the Galgaduud region,” the statement read in part.
Battalion commandant Mahad Iman said the soldiers managed to detonate several IEDs on roads leading to and out of Gal’ad town.
Al-Shabaab is known to plant IEDs targeting security forces in areas under their control.
