Government forces seize weapons through security crackdown in Mogadishu

National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) of Somalia have on Saturday launched massive security operation to capture the illegal weapons in Mak Al-Mukarama road in the heart of the city.

The forces were seen patrolling all the junctions of the road searching the vehicles with private security guards. Public transport was interfered with as forces blocked the road.

Eye witness confirmed to Goobjoog FM that the forces seized weapons during the massive operation in the city.

The ministry of national security has declined to give comment about the operations and the number of the weapons seized.

Recently the government forces have carried out similar operations against the vehicles with tinted windows, a move which the federal government described as a step to maintain the overall security.
