Al-Shabaab elements arrested in Mogadishu

The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISS) announced in a statement on Sunday that it had arrested three Al-Shabaab members who were creating security problems in the capital, Mogadishu.

The agency indicated that it received information about the aforementioned individuals, which led to their arrest and the confiscation of weapons in their possession, as well as two tuk-tuks and a motorcycle that they used to escape when committing acts that undermine security.

The statement explained that those arrested were members of a network of Al-Shabaab elements whose mission was to stir up security unrest in Mogadishu, noting that most of the network members had been arrested while the agency continues to track down the rest.
