SOMALIA, Kismayo: In a handout photograph released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team 03 October, soldiers of the Somali National Army (SNA) stand at the entrance of a fomer police station in the Somali port city of Kismayo, while a team of engineers serving with the Kenyan Contingent of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) search the premises for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab withdrew from the city on 02 October after AMISOM troops, Somali National Army (SNA) forces and the pro-government Ras Kimboni Brigade militia entered and captured Kismayo without a fight. During their security sweep, AMISOM engineers found one device planted in the perimeter wall next to the entrance, which was destroyed by a controlled explosion. AU-UN IST PHOTO / STUART PRICE.
