{{In Somalia, 400 people have been arrested in a major security operation in the Somali port city of Kismayo.}}
A militia source said the arrested were believed to be supporters of the Islamist al-Shabab group.
Residents said the operation began early in the morning adding that the city has been in complete lockdown for most of the day.
Markets and schools were closed as the security forces went from place to place looking for those they suspected of supporting al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab has withdrawn from several key towns in recent months, but still controls much of the countryside.
