MOGADISHU (Sunatimes) A plane carrying weapon supply has landed on friday morning at the airport of Kismaayo town of southern Somalia which is under the control of Al-Shabaab militant group, local residents told Sunatimes.

Militant officials belonging to Al-Qaeda were said to have been following the plane as all the roads in and out of the airport were sealed off by heavily armed Al-Shabaab militias during the unloading the weapons.

Reports close to Al-Shabaab officials said the plane flew from Eritrea which supports the Islamic rebel movements in Somalia.

Al-Shabaab (means youth in Arabic) - which controls much of southern Somalia -  is now involving in what they called all-out-war against the weak government and its back up African peacekeeping troops.
