In an image taken and released by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013, Kenyan soldiers serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) man an artillery position at Kismayo Airport in southern Somalia. At least seven Al Shabaab militants were killed and their vehicle destroyed early Thursday morning following their attempt to attack the AMISOM camp at Kismayo International Airport in southern Somalia. AMISOM troops thwarted the first probing attack by Al Qaeda linked fighters and forced them to retreat, then the militia returned to attack the defensive position but were engaged before they disembarked from their vehicle. AMISOM troops continued to engage and repel the fighters as they repeatedly attempted to recover their vehicle. (AP Photo/ Ramadaan Mohamed/AU-UN IST /AMISOM
