The National Intelligence Agency has arrested an arms smuggler to Al-Shabaab five months after the agency seized two illicit shipments containing military equipment and explosive materials at the Mogadishu sea port.
In a statement issued on Friday, the intelligence agency revealed that 28-year-old Zakaria Kamal Sufi Ababa Sheikh, also known as Zaki, was arrested while trying to enter an area controlled by Al-Shabaab without specifying the location.
According to the statement, Kamal is the mastermind behind a network responsible for purchasing military equipment from abroad for Al-Shabaab. The intelligence agency confirmed that the group hid military equipment within commercial shipments, which the agency had seized at the Mogadishu seaport in May of this year.
