Somalia

Negotiations between Shabaab and Hizbul Islam in Mogadishu failed to lead to a merger between the two terror groups. Sheik Muktar Robow Ali Abu Mansoor and Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys are said to have attended the meeting. Three soldiers and two civilians were wounded in an attack near a police station in Dharkenlay.
