Somali militants kill at least 11 Puntland soldiers

| Reuters Middle East – 5 minutes ago

 

BOSASSO, Somalia, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Somali Islamist

militants have killed at least 11 soldiers in an attack on a

military base in the semi-autonomous Puntland region, a regional

minister and the rebels said on Wednesday.

The attack underscores concerns that security in the

relatively peaceful region will worsen after a large number of

al Shabaab rebels were squeezed out of their southern and

central strongholds by African troops and moved north.

Puntland's President Abdirahman Mohamud Farole last month

told Reuters more than 400 al Qaeda-linked fighters were holed

up in his territory, a development that could discourage plans

for oil exploration in the region. [iD;nL5E8M96UZ]

"Al Shabaab unexpectedly attacked our base and killed 11 of

our forces and injured 7 others last night," Khalif Isse Mudan,

Puntland's security minister, told reporters.

Seven militants were killed in the gunbattle, he said.

Until now, Puntland has largely escaped the worst of the

upheaval in Somalia, which has been deprived of an effective

central government for two decades.

Although militant numbers are still limited in Puntland,

Western diplomats fear they may try and forge closer ties with

al Qaeda militants in Yemen, separated from Somalia by a narrow

stretch of water. Access to Puntland's ports would help the

rebels ship in weapons.

Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesman for al Shabaab's military

operations, said the militants had killed 17 Puntland troops.

Under pressure from African Union (AMISOM) peacekeeping

troops and Somali government forces, al Shabaab has lost many of

its urban strongholds in south-central Somalia since it launched

a rebellion against the Western-backed government in 2007.

The rebels want to impose their strict interpretation of

sharia Islamic law across the Horn of Africa state.
