Somalia's Al-Shabab Hit By Major Amisom Offensive -- BBC
Pro-government forces have launched a major offensive from the Somali capital, Mogadishu, to seize territory from al-Shabab Islamist militants.
Some 1,000 soldiers backed up by 20 tanks captured three al-Shabab bases, a senior security official said.

Al-Shabab is under attack on several fronts, with troops from Kenya and Ethiopia also gaining ground recently.
