Hassan Al Turki is dead

[luis1]

An Al-Shabaab leader wanted by the United States has died in Somalia, the Somali-based militant group announced Thursday.

A mouthpiece radio channel for the group carried a message saying Sheikh Hassan Turki (also known as Hassan Abillahi Hersi Turki) died Wednesday. The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear.

Turki was believed to be in his 70s and had transitioned from being a military leader into a spiritual figurehead after falling ill.

What is Al-Shabaab, and what does it want?

The United States first sanctioned him in 2004 for alleged links to terror attacks and association with al Qaeda.

The U.N. Security Council said Turki played a role in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Free speech is non existent in this forum

but condoning the actions of people ppl who massacre people in the name of Allah should not be tolerated. Otherwise atheist should be allowed to post pics of the prophet since that is 'free speech'

Mohoka,

All he said is Ilaahay ha unaxariisto. That is not justifying anything. So what is really bothering you man?

Better to be dead then forced to witness your country become prey. Aun
