SOMALIA, Kismayo: In an image taken and released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team 22 August 2013, fighters belonging to the Ras Kimboni Brigade ride on the back of a machine mounted truck know as a technical at Kismayo Airport in southern Somalia. At least seven Al Shabaab militants were killed and their vehicle destroyed early this morning following their attempt to attack the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) camp at Kismayo International Airport in southern Somalia. AMISOM troops thwarted the first probing attack by Al Qaeda linked fighters which began at 8.15 pm, forcing the attackers to retreat.
