Al Shabaab Executes Three Kenyan Fighters For Spying
[RADIOSHABELLE] Foreign fighters serving in the Al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
militia are living in fear after three Kenyans were early this month publicly beheaded after being accused of spying.

The executions of the three on 10 September in Jillib have caused anxiety and fear among imported muscle within Al-Shabaab ranks. This brings to seven the number of Kenyan fighters executed in Somalia on suspicion of spying.

Kenyan intelligence reports reveal that Al-Shabaab leadership ordered public beheading of the three Kenyans identified as Abdullah Talal Musa, Jared Mukayo Omambia and Hashim Othman Selali for spying on the group.

The long-running mistrust of imported muscle by the local in Somalia is reported to have led to emergence of factions within the terror organization whose fortunes have continued to dwindle.

The hard boy group is battling disintegration due to its different factions which include those that still pledge allegiance to Al Qaeda, the team seeking support from the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) and the group that seeks to have an independent Al-Shabaab that only comprises indigenous Somalis.

"The existence of these factions is causing friction and animosity among members with Kenyan and imported muscle bearing the brunt of it all," read the Intelligence report.

Fear of displacement by the new local and imported muscle is among the reasons some forces of Evil are fighting against the change.

In addition to displacement, those supporting indigenous fighters claim that the terror group appears to have lost its vision now that they are involved in killing innocent Somalis, raping women and abusing drugs and alcohol," the report further states.

Supporters of one faction linked to the Islamic State led by Ahmed Gurey (head of imported muscle who is an American with a bounty of Sh5 million on his head) are angling towards ISIS as a source of funding.

Another faction of imported muscle is led by a Kenyan, Amir Salman, who is often in conflict with the Al-Shabaab leader Ahmed Diriye over the killing of Kenyan fighters.

The report further says some forces of Evil suspect that he too is an agent of the Kenyan Government.
