Soldiers from Gorgor Special Unit captured three Al-Shabaab militants in Barire on March 14.
Gorgor soldiers are a special elite force within the Somali National Army (SNA) ranks.
They carried out an operation in Barire town on Tuesday.
The three Al-Shabaab militants the Gorgor special forces arrested were identified as Osman Omar, Abdifitah Mohamed, and Adan Moalim.
The three militants are now in custody.
They would appear before a military court soon to answer to the charges the Somali government prefers against them.
According to military sources, the three militants had been responsible for extortion and bomb attacks in not only Barire town but also the surrounding regions.
