Twin Somali attacks hit US special forces base, Italian convoy via SABCNewsOnline

Twin vehicle-borne bombs at the Baledogle base, where Somali forces and Ugandan peacekeepers are also housed, were followed by small arms fire, a security source and Somali police said.

The US military said that US and partner forces had killed 10 militants and destroyed a vehicle after the attack.. The attack hit a part of the base that houses US special forces, who supervise Somali forces on operations, he said. Last year the Pentagon said it would withdraw hundreds of troops focused on counterterrorism operations in Africa, as the military increasingly focuses on China and Russia.
