On March 23, two terrorists of al-Qaeda-linked Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen attacked Aden Adde International Airport in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Somali Police Commissioner Gen. Abdi Hassan Hijar told the Somali National News Agency that the two terrorists, who were armed with pistols and grenades, were “pretending” to be airport workers when they launched the attack.

Al-Shabaab terrorists attempted to force their way into the Halane military base within the airport. The base hosts peacekeeping troops from the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) as well as UN facilities and international organizations.
According to Gen. Hijar, Somali security forces repulsed the attack. Both terrorists were killed during the clashes. Six other casualties were reported by the local media.

The terrorist attack forced airport authorities to suspend all domestic and international flights. It remains unclear when the airport will resume its operations.
Al-Shabab stages deadly attacks in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia on a regular basis. The terrorist group has been facing some pressure lately. On February 22, the US Africa Command announced that a combat drone had targeted a group of al-Shabab terrorists in Duduble, some 65 kilometers to the northwest of the capital, Mogadishu. The drone strike was a response to an attack on Somali government forces.
This event ist at my door step but since the US refused to sanction it’s puppets, the Al-Shabaab degenerates, I was waiting for rag-heads to make some appearance to remind the world how it needs US, which is being humiliated by Russia, China, Iran and it’s Long-term 🐖, the house of Saud. BTW, Kenyan media called the Al-Shabaab group ‘millitants’ after it planned an IED attack in Kenya earlier this year. It shows how masks are falling off from the US and it’s lame vassals, in that they view the group as ‘millitants’ and use it to achieve their degenerate, diabolical goals.
