AMISOM, in support of the Somali Police Force (SPF), last night cordoned off one and a half square kilometers in the Madina district of Mogadishu in an attempt to weed out members of the extremist group, al- Shabaab. Many of the area's young men were temporarily detained by the SPF and then screened in order to determine whether they had any links to the group. EPA/TOBIN JONES
