Islamist leader opposes uniting with Al-Shabab
2010-02-02
Sheik Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Madobe), one of the Islamist officials of Hizbul Islam organization has Tuesday opposed uniting with Harakat Al-shabab mujahideen, just a day after members of Raskamboni forces said they had formally joined to Al-shabab. The official said that the figures claiming that they were from Raskanbomi were not in the list of that organization earlier adding that whole report of uniting the two sides was propaganda.

Sheik Ahmed Madobe said that Sheik Hassan Turkey was a sick puppy and was not serving any post for Islamist organization of Rakanboni stressing that the group was an independent organization that has no relation to any of the other groups in the country.

Asked about where he was at that time, he replied that he was in parts of Lower Jubba region in southern Somalia pointing out that he was member of attacks against Harakat Al-shabab Mujahideen fighters that happened at Afmadow town near the border between Somalia and Kenya.

The statement of Hizbul Islam's official Sheik Ahmed Mohamed Islam Madobe comes as both Islamist forces of Harakat Al-shabab Mujahideen and Raskamboni said that they had united in Baidoa town in Bay region on Monday

#2  Smart to stay out of US cross hairs.

Let's hope they are in US crosshairs, with al Shebab allying with al Qaeda and Iran sending them "humanitarian" aid. We want no prisoners with Gitmo closed.
