Somali airport homes demolished

Mogadishu, 26 March-(ANA)-Somali security agents have demolished some 500 houses near the airport in the capital, Mogadishu, amid concerns they could be used as cover for an attack.

Mogadishu's mayor has said the makeshift homes could be used by militants from the al-Shabab group.

The airport is one of the few areas run by the UN-backed government.

Al-Shabab controls much of southern Somalia.(ANA)
