We managed to arrest hundreds and all shall be subjected to the full wrath of the law for being a threat to the Somali people," the defense minister told terror free somalia shortly after the session ended.
"No soldier will also be allowed to roam with weapons inside the public controlled zone and if found with it then the soldier risks being arrested fined and later imprisoned," he warned.
"Yesterday was embarrassing to see al-Shabaab extremists dressed in full military gear and the act they committed was barbaric and an act of fear after falling badly in our latest successful offensives," the defense minister admitted.
