Somali security forces arrest suspected Al-Shabaab collaborators, seize weapons

The Somali security forces on Monday conducted house to house search operations in Mogadishu, arresting dozens of people accused of working with Al-Shabaab and seizing quantities of weapons stored in secret houses used by Al-Shabaab in the capital.
The spokesman of the cabinet, Ridwan Hajji Abdiweli said 140 militias and nine senior Al-Shabaab fighters accused of holding illegal firearms have been arrested in the operation.
Abdiweli said that the security forces will continue the operation to disarm militias carrying unregistered weapons that could be used in the city.
Abdiweli added that the Al-Shabaab militias disharmonize security during the night time and hide in their houses during the daytime, but he said that the security operation will continue to undermine their activities.
