commander at Baidoa’s Shaati Gaduud airport after a tip-off from the intelligence service.
Officials say Omar Mohammed Ismail alias "Nor" was trying to board a flight to Mogadishu at the time of his arrest. He was handed over to the relevant security agencies for questioning.
Nor during an interview said he was a Koranic teacher before joining al-Shabaab following a brainwashing by a close relative within the group, which is an ally of al-Qaeda in East Africa.
The detained commander said he came from Jilib town in the Middle Jubba region, which serves as the main al-Shabaab headquarters in southern Somalia, where he was trained.
