Mogadishu: The African Union force said that Islamist fighters from Al-Shabaab attacked an African Union military base in Somalia on Friday, without specifying whether there were any losses. The terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda has been waging a terrorist insurgency against the central government in the fragile Horn of Africa country for more than 15 years. The African Union force, known as ATMIS, said in a statement on Facebook and Twitter that the army base in Bulo Marer, 120 km southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, “was attacked by al-Shabaab.”
