Al Shabaab Beheads Two Teen Boys In Somalia, Display Heads To Create Fear on the Streets


Ask the people of Somalia how glad they are al Shabaab is in their country. Ask Somalians who aren't Muslim how they feel about submitting to Islam. Ask the Somali people if they'd be for the complete elimination of al Shabaab.

Al-Shabaab beheads two men


Two youth were on Sunday beheaded in Afmadow town, Southern Somalia, by Al-Shaabab militia for allegedly spying for the Transitional Federal Government and Kenya Defence Forces.

This comes as the Kenya security agencies arrested four more suspected members of the Islamist militia group in Lamu.

The heads of the two young men, who were seized by the militants a few days ago, were displayed in the town streets, according to area residents.

“The incident has caused fear in the general public,” a resident who did not want to be named (for security reasons) told a Mogadishu-based radio.

The youth were reportedly accused of having links with the Government of Kenya and the TFG. They were also accused of directing Kenyan planes that carried out air raids in Jubaland.

Recently, Al-Shabaab militants promised to punish anybody found working with the TFG and the Kenyan troops that crossed into Somalia in mid-October in hot pursuit of the militia.

Meanwhile, four suspected members of Al-Shabaab were arrested by Kenya Navy in Lamu at the weekend.

Lamu West deputy police boss Joseph Sigei said the four were arrested on Saturday in the high seas as they advanced deeper into Kenya territorial waters.

“They are being interrogated in the sea but no arms were recovered during the arrest,” Mr Sigei told the Nation on Sunday.

He said the four Somali men were arrested aboard a speed boat containing several jerrycans of petrol and police suspected that they were fleeing the ongoing joint military operation in Somalia.

The arrest brings to nine, the number suspected members of Al-Shabaab arrested in Lamu since last week.

Five other suspects were arrested on Friday aboard a speed boat from Somalia while heading towards the Lamu Archipelago.

The fiver were seized by marine police on patrol at midday on Manda Island near an exclusive tourist resort.

The suspect were identified as Mr Ali Mohammed, Mr Ahmed Omar, Mr Abdullah Mohammed, Mr Mohammed Abdi Mohammed and Mr Jarma Mohammed Adan.

Mr Sigei said the suspects docked their boat near Takwa Ruins and walked on foot towards Manda Beach Hotel before they were cornered by armed police officers deployed in the area.
