Militants from Al-Shabaab militant
group have staged a daring attack on
a prison in Mogadishu with several
casualties reported in the ensuing
clashes with prison guards,
eyewitnesses and security sources
said Sunday.
A group of Al-Shabaab militants
attacked Godka Jili'ow prison where
several Al-Shabaab detainees are
being held, the sources said.
The militants detonated several
explosive-laden cars before trying to
break into the prison amid heavy
fighting with the prison guards, they
added.
Casualties have been reported, but
their number is yet to be known.
Somalia, a long-troubled Horn of
Africa country, has remained in the
grip of violence since the outbreak of
civil war in 1991.
The battered country had appeared to
inch closer to stability with the
intervention of African Union troops
tasked with combatting Al-Shabaab
militant group.
Yet, the group still remains active in
several parts of the country, waging a
relentless campaign of attacks
against government officials and
security sites, which left hundreds
dead.
