attack in downtown Mogadishu on Saturday, the second raid within the Somalia capital in as many days.
Some reports suggested of dawn al-Shabaab attack on a government base in the vicinity of Busley, near Dhanaane, south of Mogadishu. Significant casualties were reported as a result of the early Saturday morning attack, according to government officials.
The base was reportedly manned by different units from the military, military police, and other special security forces. This was the second attack within Mogadishu after al-Shabaab raided SYL Hotel in the capital last week, killing at least five people.
The complex terror attack killed dozens, including senior Military Officer Liban Golcad, according to SNA sources. Besides the missing soldiers, military vehicles were destroyed, with the al-Shabaab taking responsibility for the morning attack.
The al-Shabaab murderous Moslem group in a statement claimed to have killed "more than 57" soldiers, a figure that has not been independently verified. It is not clear whether the missing soldiers were killed or were kidnapped the the turbans who usually ask for ransom.
Security teams have been mobilized in Somalia to search for the missing soldiers, with al-Shabaab, still mum over the latest developments. The elite soldiers man Mogadishu, a city that has been experiencing relative calmness in the last several months.
The al-Shabaab is under surveillance by the Somali National Army, the US Africa Command, and the African Union
