According the UPDF deputy spokesperson, Major Henry Obbo these were seized at the Asuman Atto Garage in the capital Mogadishu during a cordon and search operation conducted this morning.

Obbo says that the weapons recovered include tortoise grenades, Multi- Grenade Launchers, boxes of 82 millimetre motor fuses, rocket propel grenade pipes as well as RPG shells and guns.

Also recovered were sipper riffles with attached telescopes, anti-tanker bombs and various types of guns and ammunition.

The AMISOM Force Commander Lt. Gen. Silas Ntigurirwa says such operations are part of the wider effort to improve security in Mogadishu and Somalia in general.

“Since we launched operation Eagle, we also launched the cordon and search in Mogadishu which is a bigger activity conducted by AMISOM troops, particularly sector one commander, which is occupied by UPDF forces, jointly, with the Somali National Army, with NISA and Somali people,” he said.

The Sector Commander Brig. Dick Olum applauded the Somali people for providing key intelligence information that has facilitated frustration of several attacks by the al Shabaab.

He however called for vigilance, warning that al Shabaab terrorists easily blend into communities and may not be easily identified.
