Somalia, 25 November 2025 – The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) says its Gaashaan Special Forces have killed an Al-Shabaab bomb expert in the Omar Berre area of Lower Shabelle in a planned operation carried out on Monday night.
According to NISA Statement today, the raid resulted in the death of Hassan Sidow Hussein, who the agency describes as the militant group’s lead coordinator for roadside bomb activities in the region. Three guards accompanying him were also killed.
NISA stated that the unit had been tracking the suspect for an extended period due to his alleged role in organizing and directing militant operations in Lower Shabelle.
