Puntland Special Forces Take Out Two Terrorists

Mogadishu, 9 Dec. (AKI) - Two suspected Islamist terrorists died in a shoot-out with security forces in Bosaso, capital of Somalia's central, semi-autonomous Puntland region late Wednesday, local radio station Garowe reported.


The two men had allegedly carried out an a botched assassination attack against Somali finance minister Ali Osman Buh earlier on Wednesday. Buh was injured in the attack but survived.


Local witnesses said that after the attack against Buh, the two men escaped from police by hiding inside a house. Security forces sealed off the area and shot dead the two suspects who came outside armed with guns and hand-grenades.


The suspects are believed to be members of an Islamist group with ties to a Mogadishu-based branch of the the Al-Qaeda aligned Al-Shabab group.


Al-Shabab controls much of southern Somalia. It appears to have consolidated its position as the most powerful insurgent group after it drove its main rival, Hizbul Islam, out of the southern port city of Kismayo in October 2009.


Since then, Al-Shabab has openly declared its alliance with Al-Qaeda and have been steadily moving its fighters northwards towards Mogadishu, the Somali capital.


Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991.
