Suicide truck bomb rams African troop base in Somalia

MOGADISHU - Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist group rammed a suicide truck bomb into a military base of African AMISOM peacekeeping troops on Tuesday in the area of Beledweyne town, north of the capital, the militant group and a police officer said.
There were no immediate reports about casualties.
"A mujahid (fighter) driving a heavily loaded truck bomb rammed the Djibouti base in Baladweyne," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab's military operations spokesman, said, echoing comments made by a local police officer.
Djibouti has a contingent of troops with AMISOM.
