Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kenyan soldiers serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) inspect a destroyed vehicle belonging to Al Qaeda-affliated extremist group Al Shabaab at Kismayo Airport in southern Somalia, 22 August, 2013. At least seven Al Shabaab militants were killed and their vehicle destroyed early this morning following their attempt to attack the AMISOM camp at Kismayo International Airport in southern Somalia. AMISOM troops thwarted the first probing attack by Al Qaeda linked fighters which began at 8.15 pm, forcing the attackers to retreat. At 3.30am, the militia returned to attack the defensive position but were engaged before they disembarked from their vehicle. AMISOM troops continued to engage and repel the fighters as they repeatedly attempted to recover their vehicle. One technical vehicle, stolen medical equipment, several military uniforms, bloodstained scarves, bed sheets and a blanket were recovered from the scene. The ‘technical’ has been identified by the mounted communication aerial on its front bumper as a modified stolen NGO vehicle. AU-UN IST PHOTO / RAMADAAN MOHAMED.
