A SVBIED rammed into a convoy of US-trained Gashaan forces (Alpha Group) in Vinta Una October in Afisiyooni neighbourhood (Waberi District) in the afternoon of 04/01. SNG forces opened fire after the blast to disperse on-lookers. The spokesman for Somali National Security Ministry stated that the SVBIED was in fact being chased by NISA personnel when it rammed into a civilian car and detonated. Other sources indicate that the suicide vehicle was targeting a pick-up truck used by Alpha group to transport al Shabaab suspects arrested in normal security operations. At least four civilians were killed during the blast and six others, mostly Alpha soldiers were injured. It cannot be verified whether two Gashaan soldiers were killed in the blast as some sources claim. Al Shabaab claimed the responsibility for the attack. |
