A Toyota Land cruiser carrying seven al Shabaab operatives accidentally exploded in Bakala village (33km NW of Baidoa) in the morning of 22/03. Reports indicate that the vehicle belongs to SNG forces and al Shabaab fighters seized it in the previous night after they briefly took-over Wanla Weyn town. The vehicle was apparently carrying explosive materials where some of the components started leaking that initiated chemical reactions and later exploded. All the seven occupants were killed in the explosion. |
