MOGADISHU – In a major blow to the Khawaarij extremist group, security forces in Somalia’s Hiiraan region have successfully conducted an operation that resulted in the death of a senior leader. The operation, which took place in the Mabaah area, targeted and eliminated Ali Ahmed Guure, also known as Ali Qoyane.
