AMISOM moves to capture Al-Shabaab training camp

11 July 2012, 17:14

Somali troops with the support of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) have launched an operation Wednesday morning to capture Lanta Buro village, the site of a major al Shabaab training camp.

Situated 40km west of Mogadishu, Lanta-Buro housed political prisoners during the Siad Barre regime but has since been converted into a major terrorist training camp by the Al Qaeda?affiliated Al'Shabaab.

The move to take the camp comes at a critical time for the capital as it prepares to host a National Constituent Assembly which will adopt a provisional constitution and end 12 years of transitional government.
