Garbaharey — More fighters loyal to Al shabaab group on Monday night launched a premeditated attack on Garbaharey town where Somali government and moderate Sufi group of Ahlu Sunna Waljama ASWJ tightly control.
The fighting, which was very heavy, has lasted hours as the two warring sides have used both heavy and light guns during the confrontation.
Reports from the town of Garbaharey suggested that one Somali soldiers gunned down one of them after they suspected him of having close links with Al shabaab.
However, no statements about the fighting and its aftermath were immediately available from the warring factions so far.
