Al shabaab has released a propaganda video claiming that one of the attackers in the October 5, 2025 assault on Mogadishu’s Godka Jilacow facility was Abdiraxmaan Sheikh Ali, the son of the group’s own spokesperson, Ali Dheere. The video also identifies two foreign fighters involved in the operation, one from Tanzania and another from Ethiopia’s Oromo community. The attack itself was carried out using a vehicle marked with the NISA logo and attackers dressed in NISA uniforms, allowing them to bypass security checkpoints. Somali officials have yet to comment on the group’s latest claims.
