Warplanes seen flying over Mogadishu

Warplanes and helicopters have been seen flying over Somalia’s capital Mogadishu already since the last three days, witnesses said on Wednesday.

Residents in Hamarweyne and Waberi districts in Mogadishu said they could see a warship anchored near the seaport and several large warplanes and helicopters flying in a low level over Mogadishu seaport and the presidential palace.

A warplane has also been reportedly landed in Aden Ade International airport in Mogadishu.

The country to which the ship and the warplanes belong, is apparently not but known, but local residents presume it has to do with al Shabaab militants having taken over two French agents abducted from their hotel in Mogadishu last Tuesday by Somali gunmen.

France's foreign minister said on Tuesday his country did not rule out sending commandos to try to free two French security advisers held hostage in Somalia.
