SNIPPETS from the article in post no. 9:
SNIPPET: “In the past, Shabaab has shown it can penetrate security at the heavily protected areas in the capital and carry out deadly attacks.”
SNIPPET: “Shabaab has also executed a suicide attack outside Somalia’s borders...”
SNIPPET: “Shabaab and its Kenyan branch, the Muslim Youth Center, formally joined al Qaeda in February 2012. The east African terror groups were closely tied to al Qaeda for years prior, however; Shabaab leaders had openly proclaimed their allegiance to al Qaeda long before the official merger.
Al Qaeda and its affiliates and allies have carried out numerous suicide assaults such as the one in Somalia today in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Algeria, Mali, and Niger.”
