Al-Shabaab claims that its fighters killed a senior security officer in Kismayo.
Ahmed Gurey, the security officer, apparently lost his life during an explosion in the Jubbaland capital of Kismayo.
Apparently, Gurey died after a device stuck on his car exploded thus killing him on the spot on Saturday.
At that time, Gurey had just left the mosque and was traveling to an unknown destination.
His death is the latest by the militants against senior government officers.
In recent months, Al-Shabaab attacks seem to focus more on government officials at the federal and regional state level.
