The governor also made further comments and details during the interview with Shabelle media about the bombardment of Al-shabab bases in Gedo region, saying that two unidentified fighter jets had dropped several bombs in militant hide outs in El Adde village that successfully destroyed as he put it 'Somalia militant bases'.
He notes that three civilians have been killed and four others wounded, three of them children by an air raid on IDPs camps packed with drought victims in the same village in Gedo region, a strategic region bordering with neighboring Kenya.
Kenya, which sent hundreds of troops across its border into Somalia in mid October to crush the Islamist militants and has threatened air, strikes on rebel enclaves did not immediately claimed responsibility.
