"We lost two soldiers and four others were injured, al Shabaab planted two bombs as our convoy headed to Galgala Hills," Abdi said. Al Shabaab militants killed two soldiers in a bomb attack in the country's semi-autonomous region of Puntland on Tuesday, an officer in the region's military has said. "We destroyed 17 Puntland soldiers and destroyed two of their vehicles using bombs yesterday," he told Reuters on Wednesday. Major Mohamed Abdi told Reuters late on Tuesday the soldiers were killed when a military convoy was hit by two bombs as it headed toward Galgala Hills, located east of Bosasso. Al Shabaab's military operations spokesman, Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, told Reuters they were responsible for the attack.
