Somalia's National Intelligence Agency (NISA) on Thursday said that it had seized two illicit shipments of military hardware and explosive materials that were apparently bound for the al Shabaab militant group.

At a news conference in Mogadishu, Somalia's State Minister of Defense Mohamed Ali Haga said the agency found the arms at Mogadishu's port and airport.
