A vehicle was rigged with homemade explosive devices in the Lower Shabelle region by terrorists before being disarmed and destroyed by Danab forces. “They were planning massive operations and suicide car bombings against the people of Somalia,” commented Ahmed Abdullahi Nur, commander of the unit. He also mentioned how his unit had been trained by U.S. operators to manage these types of threats. At least five al-Shabab fighters were killed during the operation as well.
