  • Al-Shabaab jihadists killed at least 12 people Sunday in a raid on a town and military base in central Somalia, the army and local officials said. Fighters attacked the base and nearby town of Wisil in Galmudug state, more than 700 kilometres (430 miles) from the capital Mogadihu, several sources told AFP. Abdirahman Adan, commander of a paramilitary unit in Galmudug state, said by telephone it was difficult to know the exact number of dead. But for the moment they knew that 12 people, six of them from the security forces, had died in Wisil. The attackers had been pushed back and many of them had been killed, he added, without saying how many. Abdullahi Sahal, a community leader in Wisil, also said six civilians and six soldiers had been killed. The attack started with the detonation of a vehicle loaded with explosives, said another paramilitary commander, Mohamed Mire. "After the car bomb explosion, they started heavy machine guns," he said. But the security pushed them back, inflicting losses, and they were now in full control, he added. Ahmed Ayanle, a local resident, said: "There was a enormous explosion which hit the town before a heavy exchange of gunfire started early in the morning." "The fighting went on for more than an hour before the Al-Shabaab fighters pulled out," he added. Another local, Bashir Ahmed, said he had seen three dead soldiers and 10 others wounded. The Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab confirmed the attack and claimed 34 soldiers at the military base had been killed. Also on Sunday, further north in the state of Puntland, the authorities announced they had executed 21 Al-Shabaab members -- the largest ever execution carried out in Somalia. Colonel Mumin Abdi Shire, commander of the Mudug region in Puntland, said they had been convicted by a local military court. str-md/jj/ach
