Somalia: Puntland forces arrest Al-Shabaab gun men
11 May 11, 2010 - 12:08:53 PM
Security forces in Somalia’s Puntland state have nabbed men carrying guns in the administrative capital of Garowe, police commander said.
Abdirihman Haji Abshir, Nugal Police Commander said security officers manning a checkpoint in the east of the town arrested suspected Al-Shabaab men carrying 9 AK 47 rifles, who were on their way to the commercial city of Bossaso.
“Police officers manning the checkpoint arrested two Al-Shabaab men who were trying to smuggle out those weapons,” he said.
“The police are after another Al-Shabaab man, the owner of the weapons, who escaped the police net. We have his name and hopefully we will arrest him,” he noted, adding that the arrested men hail from Puntland.
The arrest coincides with cabinet meetings going in Bossaso over the security of the commercial hub that has recently deteriorated.
Puntland government vowed to combat with ‘iron fist’ the insecurity that is threatening the stability of the region.
The state, which declared its autonomous status more than 10 years ago, has enjoyed relative peace and stability compared to south central Somalia where escalating powerful insurgency has killed thousands of people.

Most likely the men were one of the lesser Jabertis: Sawiirqoon, Dhiishiisles, Awrtable, Tunaheads etc. They will be branded as Shabab by the Punthopian regime of Faroole and sold to Meles Zenawi who no longer has an appetite for ONLF.

^ You have a point. P-Land gov't goes after Warsangeli hard in Bosaso. Who knows, maybe they become terrorists as a counter-agent to the gov't.

paidmonk,
I doubt the Puntland security forces have the skill or guts to fight battle hardened Shabab. The end of the quarter is coming around and they need to fill their terrorist quota.
PIS is behind this and I applaud their efforts

Al-shabab should migrate to Puntland They will find support from:
Isse Mahamoud who are a 3rd class citizens
Dhiishiishe
Midgaans
Dir
Wasengali
Dhulos
Rahanweyn refugees
Omar mahamoud and osman mahamoud can't stand on their own, specially when all their sheiks would welcome an end to piracy, drugs, prostitution and politically monopoly.

Hypocrisy breeds hypocrisy...
Like a flock of vultures they swarm at the mention of the ''P'' word.
Somali language does not contain the ''P'' word
