Ahlu Sunnah Wal-Jama fighters have reportedly recaptured Dhusamareb after battling with Shabaab; the death toll reached 47 during two days of fighting. Shabaab beheaded two men when they seized the town yesterday. The Shabaab operative who tried to kill a Danish cartoonist had previously been detained in Kenya for allegedly helping to plot an attack against US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
