Mogadishu (HOL) - Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) displayed the body of a senior al-Shabab leader killed in a new operation in the Middle Shabelle region.
According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Information on Saturday, Yusuf Mohamed Jingaab (Minister) was killed in an operation in Juhaay village, Aden Yabal district, the last week.
The ministry added that Jingaab was one of the most dangerous members of al-Shabaab, and he was responsible for misleading the youth with the idea of extremism.
On Saturday, Somali military officials said that at least 50 al-Shabab militants were killed in an army operation against the Islamist militant group al-Shabab in the Middle Shabelle region.
A statement issued by Somalia's national army command Saturday says the army's planned operation against the militants took place in the village of Darul-nicim in the country's Middle Shabelle province.
The village on the outskirts of the recently liberated strategic town of Adan Yabal, 217 kilometers north of the capital, Mogadishu, has seen an increase in military activity in the last three weeks.
