Jihad in East Africa update: "New Qaeda-linked "jihadi" group in Somalia -ICG," from Reuters, with thanks to The One Who Must Not Be Named:
NAIROBI, July 10 (Reuters) - A new group of al Qaeda-linked "jihadis" or "holy warriors" has won a foothold in Somalia and though small may flourish if stable rule does not return to the anarchic Horn of Africa nation, a report said on Sunday.The "new, ruthless independent jihadi network" is run from the capital Mogadishu by a militia boss trained in Afghanistan and has already killed several foreign aid workers, the International Crisis Group (ICG) think-tank said.
"Ultimately, the threat of jihadi terrorism from Somalia can only be addressed through the restoration of stable, legitimate and functional government," added the ICG document, seen by Reuters in advance of its formal release this week.
The "I a I" in Somalia has tried to get the west to believe they are disbanned, but they are not. Our own State Department designated them a terrorist organization. Anyone with ties to them gets prosecuted, as such. Oh, don't ask me to define, "ties;" in this day and age, a tie is a tie is a tie. Just don't take this article lightly; I sure don't.
