ETHIOPIA ARRESTS AL-SHABAAB, DAESH TERRORISTS PLANNING ATTACKS
Several members of the al-Shabaab and Daesh
terrorist groups have been arrested in Ethiopia as they prepared to carry out
attacks, the national intelligence agency said Saturday. Their aim was to
attack public areas, religious events and hotels in the capital Addis Ababa and
other locations in Ethiopia, the agency said in a statement. It did not specify
how many people were detained, but the state broadcaster reported that it was
12.
The suspects were said to have entered
Ethiopia through Djibouti, Somalia and its breakaway state of Somaliland.
Al-Shabaab, which is affiliated with the international al-Qaida terrorist
network, regularly launches attacks in Somalia - where it is based - and
neighboring Kenya. Daesh has also gained an increasing foothold in the Horn of
Africa.
Several countries provided intelligence
that helped lead to the arrests, including the United States, Italy, France and
Spain, the Ethiopian intelligence agency said.
