MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Fighters from Somalia's al Shabaab insurgent group attacked a military base on the outskirts of a town in the centre of the country, leading to at least 17 deaths, a resident said.
The attack on Masagawa, about 300 km (190 miles) north of Mogadishu, came days after al Shabaab attacked a base housing Ugandan forces from an African Union peacekeeping mission in Bulamarer, 130 km (80 miles) southwest of the capital.
