Once again we see government forces not able to eradicate a jihad force, and even suffering defeats at its hands.
“Al-Shabaab Claims Responsibility for Explosive Ambush on Government Forces,” Radio Dalsan, October 8, 2024:
Shalanbood, Lower Shabelle Region – A powerful explosion has claimed lives and caused multiple injuries in a targeted attack on government forces in Shalanbood, located in the restive Lower Shabelle region of southern Somalia.
The explosion, described by witnesses as intense and destructive, targeted a location where Somali government forces were stationed.
According to military officials, the blast resulted in casualties, including fatalities and injuries among the troops. While the exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed, military sources indicate that the toll could have been higher had the soldiers not responded quickly.
“Our forces came under attack from Al-Shabaab, but we managed to repel their assault. Unfortunately, we suffered losses, though our troops are still in control of the area.“ A senior military officer, speaking under the condition of anonymity, confirmed the attack, stated.
Following the explosion, government forces conducted limited operations in and around Shalanbood, searching for remaining militants and ensuring the area was secure. The security situation has since stabilized, though tensions remain high.
Shortly after the attack, Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda-linked extremist group responsible for numerous deadly attacks across Somalia, claimed responsibility for the bombing. In a statement released through their media channels, the group boasted of killing at least one government soldier and wounding three others in the blast….

Calling ilhan elmi, alias ilhan omar….your people need you at home. Go, go quickly. They need you. We don’t.
Such nice people, those al shabab, esp the ones who have been smuggled into the U.S.
Perhaps ilhan could teach them to run for office so they can make things more compatible with fighting the phobia through resolutions.
al shabab is committed, like al queda, to murdering; even the murder of other mozlums. it’s what they lust to do and do as often as they can get away with it.

The West is too lazy to read their own death fatwas or Islamic literature and not even their own Constitutional and Biblical literature which sums up EVERYTHING. How can the average everyday idiot make it in a world geared for self-annihilation and self-immolation? One thing the West lacketh not is information but it today certainly lacks the wisdom and will to read its own literature much less about Islam. The Jihadis by their actions say death to America boldly in public spaces and Americans catatonically ignore it. 2 Thessalonians 2nd Chapter Ephesians 6:10-12. Nuff said.

Nothing but more murder. God I hate Islam.

Methinks that lovely wee lassie in the American Congress who wears all those colorful Hijabs daily should head on back to the land she was born in and lead them as she does in America with so much political stuff so perhaps she can share it with her fellow jihadis…
