Mogadishu, SONNA – The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) successfully thwarted two separate attempts by al-Shabaab militants to launch attacks using explosives-laden vehicles. The first vehicle, intercepted at the Garasbaaley district border, was neutralized before it could reach Mogadishu.
Acting on local intelligence, NISA forces also destroyed a second vehicle filled with explosives in the Arbaow area near Ceelasha Biyaha. The operation prevented significant harm to civilians, though some houses were damaged in the process.
NISA Cheif Abdullahi Mohamed Ali Sanbaloolshe visited both sites to commend the officers involved. He held meetings with security forces, receiving updates on the operations that successfully disrupted the militants’ plans. No casualties were reported.
