Al-Shabab fighters killed in Mogadishu prison assault, Somalia confirms | Al-Shabab News

Attackers wore military uniform and rode vehicles imitating security forces to breach a high-security prison in the capital.

All seven attackers who stormed a major prison complex in Mogadishu have been killed following an hours-long gun battle in the largest such assault on the capital in recent months, the Somali government has said.

The al-Shabab group attacked Godka Jilow, an underground prison complex known to hold fighters from the armed group, on Saturday.
