[RT] Reports have emerged of Kenyan vigilante groups using Facebook and Twitter to hunt down and summarily execute young men suspected of being gang members, before posting gruesome content of the aftermath online.
"They profile them on Facebook, after one week or a month they shoot them, and put pictures of their dead bodies on Facebook," Wilfred Olal from the Dandora Community Justice Centre told a community meeting. An average of six suspected gangsters are profiled and killed each month.
The disturbing photos and videos are incredibly graphic, showing close-ups of heads cleaved open by bullets, desecrated corpses, and the aftermath of ’necklacing’ ‐ a gruesome practice in which a rubber tire filled with petrol is wrapped around a live victim’s chest and arms before being set on fire.
"The first unofficial police Facebook account appeared under the name Hessy wa Kayole [Hessy from Kayole]," Duncan Omanga, a researcher at Moi University in Kenya said, adding: "Hessy became the shadowy crime-hunter, the mystical lone ranger."
One group boasts almost 63,000 members and has a motto which reads: "Forgiving a terrorist is left to God, but fixing their appointment with God is our responsibility." Group members often try to one-up each other while commenting and laughing about the extreme violence shared on the page.
In one post, a gang member shared a photo of himself posing with others from the gang while brandishing an AK47 semi-automatic rifle, before later deleting it. The image had already been shared across social media, and each person pictured was summarily executed one by one. The group photo then reappeared online several times, each time with one more face struck off.

[AlAhram] Italian news agency ANSA says authorities have tossed in the slammer Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! an Italian convert to Islam and a Moroccan resident who met over the Internet and were preparing to fight with Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Sicilian prosecutors who ordered the arrests Wednesday said Sherlocks had identified the Italian suspect, 25-year-old Giuseppe Frittatta, from social media posts. They included holy warrior propaganda as well as photos of himself holding a knife with a 26-centimeter (10-inch) blade calling for deaths to `'all westerners.''
The 18-year-old Moroccan, Ossama Gafhir, is alleged to have induced Frittatta toward extremism, and was following stringent fitness routine to prepare for combat.
Frittata _ a Sicilian who changed his name to Yusef _ allegedly was in contact with turbans in Italia and abroad. The arrests were carried out in northern Italia.
The pair were "ready to attack", according to media reports citing prosecutors, , which said they had been plotting an attack on Italian soil after their plans to travel to Syria to fight were thwarted by the defeat of IS.
The suspects had downloaded video instructions on how to carry out bombings and suicide kabooms, police said.

Federal prosecutors said the 28-year-old German national, identified only as Volkan L. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested in Hamburg on Wednesday. He is suspected of membership in a foreign terrorist organization.
Prosecutors say that he traveled to Syria in November 2013 to join IS and underwent military training. They say he returned to Germany in March 2014 and turned his attention to finding new recruits.
He is accused of helping organize travel to Syria for one such person in summer 2014, acting as a go-between between the recruit and an IS member in Syria.

They should encourage recruiting and tell folk that they'll provide transportation but recruits must give up German citizenship and visas and the right to return as a refugee.
[Rudaw] The Iraqi Ministry of Interior will take legal action against the former leader of Iraq Hezbollah after he publicly threatened to kill an interior ministry officer for arresting a Shiite holy man entering Basra from Iran.
In a video that began circulating online on Sunday, an officer in the Department of Drugs and Psychotropic Substances branch in Basra is seen searching the Shiite holy man, who is believed to be Iranian, asking what he has brought into Iraq, while others film the scene.
In the video, the officer finds 10 Kuwaiti dinars ($33) and then claims that the currency is used to buy drugs, mainly "red mercury," an apparent reference to Mercurous chloride (mercury salts). The officer then asks the holy man to remove his turban because he should only be wearing it as a sign of respect to the Prophet Mohammed.
