Somali insurgents attack government base: "Somali insurgents killed at least two people in an overnight attack on an army base 15 miles (24 kilometers) northeast of the government headquarters in Baidoa, a village chairman said Thursday.
The Islamist Al-Shabab militia claimed responsibility for the latest in a string of hit-and-run attacks on government targets and said its fighters beheaded several soldiers. The claims could not immediately be verified.
Village chairman Mohamed Isaq said one of the dead was a soldier, and two civilians were wounded.
Al-Shabab spokesman Sheikh Muqtar Robow said the fighters also seized weapons and burned water tankers.
'Our fighters launched an attack and briefly took over Daynunay military base and beheaded number of the so-called government soldiers on the spot,' he said."
