Storyline:National News, Security

Somalia’s intelligence boss Mohamed Abdullahi Sanbalooshe and head of police Abdihakim Dahir Sa’id have been relieved of their duties in the wake of a second terror attack in the city barely two weeks after a truck bomb claimed over 400 lives.

The duo who were appointed April 6 this year following a major shake-up in the security sector by President Mohamed Farmaajo after a series of Al-Shabaab attacks were kicked out Sunday during an emergency cabinet meeting.

Sources close to the on goings in the cabinet meeting told Goobjoog News the cabinet had resolved to send home Sanbalooshe who also doubles up as an MP together with the head of police.

Twin attacks rocked Nasa Hablood II restaurant in Mogadishu Saturday afternoon and spiraled into a night long hostage crisis culminating into the death of another 23 lives and left more than 30 others injured.
