There are conflicting reports as to how many UAE officers are slain in Gen. Gordan Camp, the UAE’s military camp in Mogadishu. Military sources who spoke to some of the local media tell of two high-ranking UAE military advisors killed and five injured. There are also sources at Digfeer Hospital that claim the death toll exceeds five with at least five more injured. No confirmation if those numbers include Somali officers.
