Egyptian warship offloads more arms to Somalia, officials say

Security helicopters hover above the Mogadishu Sea Port after an Egyptian warship docked to deliver a second major cache of weaponry in Mogadishu

Security helicopters hover above the Mogadishu port Monday after an Egyptian warship docked to deliver a second major cache of weaponry to Somalia.
