A US-born Islamist fighter viewed as a key foreign leader within Somalia's Shebab militia allied with Al-Qaeda says he fears his life is now in danger from fellow extremists.

Omar Hamami -- better known as Abu Mansoor al-Amriki -- gave the warning in an undated video posted on several Somali websites and YouTube Saturday.

"To whomever it may reach from the Muslims, from Abu Mansoor al-Amriki, I record this message today because I feel that my life may be endangered by Harakat Shebab al-Mujahideen due to some differences that occurred between us regarding matters of the Shariah (Islamic law) and matters of the strategy," he said, speaking in English.

The bearded Amriki, dressed in a black top and a checkered keffiyeh headscarf, posed in front of the Shebab's black flag and beside an automatic rifle in the minute-long video, but did not confirm his location.

Tough. That is how Islamists deal with each other and disagreements. That is how ideological totalitarians of all sorts deal with each other. When the ideology is in agreement they kill each other over whose group will rule then on who will rule.

If Omar Hamami — better known as Abu Mansoor al-Amriki —just had SOME way to let someone somewhere with a predator drone know where his nemesis would be at some given moment...

Let me see if I have this straight - a murderous Islamist savage is whining that some other murderous Islamist savage is seeking to murder him?

I’m trying to give a damn... Trying... Still trying...

Nope, it’s not working.

FROM WIKIPEDIA

Abu Mansoor Al-Amriki (born Omar Shafik Hammami)
Born May 6, 1984 (age 27)
Allegiance Harakat al-Shabaab Mujahideen

screen shot from al-Shabaab's propaganda video

Early life

Hammami grew up in Daphne, Alabama, a suburb of Mobile where he graduated from Daphne High School.[2] His father was a Syrian-born Muslim, while his mother was an American Southern Baptist. Hammami began to identify as a Muslim in high school and over time grew increasingly religious, becoming a Salafi in college.[3] He was once MSA President at the University of South Alabama.[4] He dropped out of college in 2002, and in 2004 he moved to Toronto, Canada; where he married a Somali-Canadian woman.[5]

In June 2005 the couple moved to Alexandria, Egypt, where their daughter was born.[5] Through an internet forum, Hammami met Daniel Maldonado, who was also living in Egypt, and the two secretly made plans to leave for Somalia. Without telling his family, Hammami traveled to Somalia in November 2006 and apparently joined al-Shabaab soon after.

Al-Amriki

You know things are bad when a terrorist chooses to identify as American; IOW more patriotic than the POTUS.

Meanwhile, how many plots and go-signals are disseminated via the medium of "rap"? It's not like any normal people are going to listen to it i.e. notice. Talk about being able to blend in with all the rest of the violent ramblings of lunatics.
