Chapter 394 Terrorist Attack
Hussein, who had just picked up the phone and listened to a few words, changed his face greatly. Suddenly, a sense of evil spirit appeared on his body. Even the two President Yusuf's guards in the office were secretly shocked.
But this evil spirit comes and goes quickly. When Hussein put down the phone, he had calmed down. However, Yusuf could still see a trace of anger in Hussein's eyes.
What happened? Will the Chief of Staff of the Palamin Cook Army be so gaffe and angry? Yusuf first thought of whether there was another war on the other side of the border.
"Mr. President, the headquarters of the Al-Shabaab Party is in the capital, Mogadishu, right?" Hussein came to Yusuf and asked in a low voice.
"Youth Party?" Yusuf was stunned at first, and then his face also changed. He has been in Mogadishu for more than a year. Although Yusuf and the Somali Salvation Front he represented have not completely controlled Mogadishu, they have been able to influence the area near Mogadishu. Of course, I have heard of the Al-Shabaab, an Islamic extremist religious organization, for a long time.
"Yes, the Al-Shabaab Party has been active in the northern part of Mogadishu. It is said that they have something to do with al-Qaeda, and even some political axes near the capital dare not provoke them!" When Yusuf said this, he was also a little dissatisfied. Those political axe officers have been competing with him for control near the capital. Although the two sides did not have a big fight. But small-scale secret conflicts occur from time to time.
Although Yusuf had the intention to control these Somali political axes, those powerful figures did not buy them at all. They have been reduced from a national officer to a warlord. Although Yusuf is the president and expressed Somalia's determination to fight against terrorism in many speeches, he actually knows that he cannot spare time his energy to deal with these "radical organizations" without a complete resolution to the domestic "fragmented" situation.
Did the 'Shaba' provoked Palamin's army? Yusuf was subconsciously happy. After all, it would be a good thing for him, the president, to remove the 'Shabaab' with the help of Ming Zhujun. At least the unstable factor of the "Shabaab Party" no longer exists. And he doesn't have to be hated by the allies of the 'Shabaab' Party.
But then he felt inappropriate.' The headquarters of Al-Shabaab is in the capital, Mogadishu. If the Palamin cooking army wants to solve the problem of the 'Shabaab', it must send troops into the capital to search for strangulation. But will this lead the wolf into the house? He didn't have full control of Mogadishu. How could he allow another force to intervene?
"I just received the news that a group of people who claimed to be the 'Shabaab' attacked our three checkpoints. It caused the death of many soldiers and innocent people. Hussein said in a low tone. This shows that he is on the verge of an outbreak.
The advantage of the war with Kenya has inflated Hussein's self-confidence. How could he allow an organization that had never heard of the name before to make trouble in the control of the Mingzhu Army? He also killed his soldiers.This kind of organization that dares to 'pap the tiger' must be severely cracked down.
Yusuf was shocked when he heard the words. He also thought that Al-Shabaab and the Palaming Cook Army had a conflict in some ways. Unexpectedly, the Al-Shabaab dared to attack checkpoints, causing the death of innocent people. This is exactly the same as a terrorist attack. It seems that this "Shabaab" is really a terrorist organization.
At this moment, Yusuf thought of a lot. This 'Shabaab' must be eradicated. After all, a terrorist organization cannot be allowed to exist. If it is rumored that he has a connection with a terrorist organization, it will be broken. But the way to eradicate it, whether to use his armed forces or the power of Paramin's army, has become a difficult choice for him.
"Colose Hussein, is this the work of the 'Shabaab Party'? Do you want to confirm it?" Yusuf is going to put it off before he makes up his mind.
"Mr. President, whether this organization is the work of the Al-Shabaab Party or not, we must crack down on it. The existence of a terrorist organization poses too much threat to the lives and property of the Somali people. And if this matter is known to the outside world, it may lead to criticism. Mr. President, you know that some countries are very determined to fight terrorism. It seems that some countries have pointed out the possibility of becoming a nest for terrorist organizations in the past. Therefore, Mr. President must not be careless in this matter. Of course, Hussein would not agree to Yusuf's proposal. Instead, he was reminded of his attention with a 'extremely threatening' words.
Yusuf's face changed again. Of course, he knows who the country Hussein refers to. If terrorist organizations are allowed to act recklessly, some countries may have an excuse to take action against Somalia. This is definitely not something he can tolerate.
And Hussein's attitude undoubtedly forced him to make a choice. Or be caught by international forces and publicize and attack. Or make up your mind to work with the Palamin army to eliminate the 'Shabaab', at least to drive them out of Somalia.
"Good, there must be no compromise and a strong attack on the political axe of terrorist organizations. But I have to go back and arrange it. Tomorrow we can unite to eliminate this terrorist organization. Yusuf deserves to be a big man and climbed to the presidency. There is no ambiguity at the critical moment.
After President Yusuf left, Hussein quickly reported the matter to Li Moh, who was at the base. Although he understands that someone must have reported this matter to Li Mo, as the chief of staff of the Mingzhu Army, he has to report it again. This is a matter of attitude.
"Hussein, the operation against terrorist organizations has been handed over to the base guard company. You can send a person to be responsible for coordinating with the political axe. Don't worry about the rest." Li Mo thought for a moment and felt that of course, the meteor commandos are the most suitable for fighting against terrorist organizations. However, at present, most of the meteor commandos are at the border. Although a small number of them are at the base, they are all reserve pilots and can't be used for the time being. The first regiment of the elite troops in the Mingzhu Army is also on the border. I'm afraid there are some shortcomings for other troops to encircle and suppress terrorist organizations. Therefore, the base guard company became Li Mo's choice.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo was a little hesitant in his eyes. He didn't expect to be at a terrorist organization so soon. To be honest, he is still afraid of terrorist organizations. After all, thinking about those terrorists who are under religious brainwashing and tied to suicide bombs regardless of life and death, no one is afraid. Think of such a group of 'mad people' hiding in the dark, looking for your loopholes, and giving you a fatal blow at the critical moment. Li Mo felt a chill in the fight. Fortunately, Li Mo is different from other countries. From the perspective of the country, terrorist organizations are much more harmful. Because the country has many aspects to be responsible for, and the region is large, and the goal is obvious. It is more likely to be greatly damaged and influenced by terrorists. But the Star Organization and Ming Zhujun are just unofficial organizations. The fixed target is several bases. Most of the bases are soldiers, so they are in preparation for terrorist attacks. It's much easier.
While the Palamin Cooking Army and the Presidential Palace were deployed overnight, Radio Arabia suddenly released another recording. This famous radio station, which has the exclusive broadcasting rights of al-Qaeda, has been followed by national intelligence agencies and many forces interested in terrorist organizations. So the recording soon spread all over the world.
However, to the confusion of many people, this recording was not from al-Qaeda or Comrade Laden's video, but by an organization that called itself the Al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamic Movement.
In the recording, the Al-Shabaab said that it was responsible for the recent attacks of the Somali Paramin cooking army, which has frequently attracted the world's attention, and said that the Al-Shabaab Party will continue to take punitive actions against the Paramin cooking army, a traitor who betrayed God, in all means.
The whole recording was only 2 minutes, and there was no detailed description of the attack in the afternoon, almost like a 'stand-up stick declaration'. At the end of the recording, Amin, who claimed to be the leader of the Al-Shabaab Party, called on the brothers of the Islamic world to unite to completely destroy the Palamin army.
In this recording, some people are happy, some are worried, and some are indifferent. After all, whether it is the Paraming Army or the Al-Shabaab, it is a trivial organization in the world.
The next morning, the spokesman for Somalia's Transitional Government Axe summoned most of the media reporters in the capital to hold a press conference. At the press conference, many reporters found that standing on the rostrum was not only a Somali press spokesman, but also a strange black man. The most strange thing was that the black man was dressed in a black uniform, which was completely different from the military uniforms of large and small Somali forces, which seemed so 'weird'. However, there are still sharp-eyed people who found a secret about the origin of the soldier from the black man's collar.
"Good morning, reporters and friends. The main content of today's press conference is to make an explanation to the outside world about the terrorist attack that occurred yesterday afternoon... Our political axe has always reiterated its opposition to any form of terrorism... Yesterday afternoon, a terrorist organization calling itself "Shabaab" attacked three checkpoints in our country's Lower Juba State, causing 3 A soldier and nine innocent civilians were killed. In the exchange of fire, the soldiers at the checkpoint killed a total of four terrorists... While China's political axe strongly condemns this kind of unscrupulous terrorist attack, it is also ready to completely eradicate the terrorist organization by force. Everyone noticed that the officer standing beside me was Lieutenant Colonel Aka from the Paramin Cooking Army. This time, the political axe side and the Paraming cooking army will join forces to fight against the 'Shabaab' military action..."
With the narration of the spokesperson, many reporters below excitedly recorded that the magnesium lights almost never stopped shining from beginning to end.
Many reporters also saw an unusual trace of this joint anti-terrorism operation. That is, the Paraming cooking army seems to be 'united' with the transitional political axe. Whether the Ming Zhuan army relied on the transitional political axe or for some kind of interest, the two sides carried out in-depth cooperation. These are all extremely attractive news.
After the press conference, with an order, the already prepared Mingzhu Army Guard Company and the President's Escort (Somali Salvation Mingzhu Front Armed) drove armed jeeps into the North District, which had long been blocked at the intersections of various streets.
