索马里南部激战：国防部称打死约75名青年党武装，两名士兵称数十名军人阵亡
据路透社10月27日报道，索马里南部巴伊州（Bay）布尔哈卡巴（Buurhakaba）地区的贾米科（Jameeco）一带爆发激战。索马里国防部表示，政府军在战斗中打死约75名青年党（al Shabaab）武装人员、打伤56人；两名参战士兵则对路透社表示，政府军方面有数十名士兵阵亡。双方公布的说法差距明显。
索马里国防部在声明中说，青年党武装人员使用装满炸药的车辆袭击索马里国民军，部分军车在袭击中受损。声明没有公布政府军士兵的伤亡数字。
一名自称 Ahmed 的士兵对路透社说，他参与把40具阵亡士兵的遗体和100多名伤员运送到首都摩加迪沙的医院。另一名自称 Farah 的士兵说，青年党的汽车炸弹炸毁了5辆军车，他估计有数十名士兵在爆炸中丧生。
青年党是活跃在索马里的伊斯兰武装组织，近二十年来持续发动叛乱，谋求按照其对伊斯兰教法的严格解释建立统治。索马里自1991年独裁统治者穆罕默德·西亚德·巴雷（Mohamed Siad Barre）政权倒台后长期缺乏强有力的中央政府，政府军与青年党之间的战斗持续至今。
Dozens of Somali Soldiers Killed in Battle With al Shabaab, Soldiers Say; Defence Ministry Claims 75 Militants Dead
Dozens of Somali soldiers were killed in a major battle with al Shabaab in southern Somalia, two soldiers told Reuters on October 27, while the defence ministry said government forces killed about 75 militants.
The fighting took place in the Jameeco area of Buurhakaba district in the Bay region. Somalia's defence ministry said about 75 militants were killed and another 56 were wounded, and that the militants had attacked the national army using vehicles packed with explosives, damaging some army vehicles. The statement did not say how many soldiers were killed or wounded.
One of the soldiers, who gave his name as Ahmed, said he had helped transport 40 dead soldiers and more than 100 wounded to hospitals in the capital Mogadishu. Another soldier called Farah said al Shabaab car bombs had ruined five military vehicles and estimated that dozens of soldiers were killed in the explosions.
Al Shabaab has waged a nearly two-decade-long insurgency in the Horn of Africa country, seeking to establish its own rule based on its strict interpretation of Sharia law. Somalia has endured conflict and clan battles with no strong central government since the fall of autocratic ruler Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
