More than 200 suspects were arrested Tuesday in a security sweep aimed at stemming a wave of militant attacks in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, said a senior police official, Col. Ahmed Ali. He said that the sweep was a joint operation by government forces and African Union troops and that it would “continue until we stop terrorist attacks.” Last week, militants assaulted and entered Villa Somalia, the heavily guarded compound that houses the presidential palace. After a gunfight in which at least three militants were killed, government troops and presidential guards regained control of the compound, considered one of the safest places in Mogadishu because of the tight security presence.
