Somali Terrorist Group Threatens Phone Companies
22nd October 2010
Hey, you want to threaten a phone company, be my guest. I never liked those guys anyway.
Mobile money transfers in Africa are part of a conspiracy to rob the continent of its money, subjugate its people and impede mujahideen, the media wing of the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab wrote this week.
Well, jeez, we can’t have that.
Among those problems, destroying the hawala system – the network of Muslim money transfer operators; allowing financial transactions by Mujahideen to be monitored and intercepted; and exploiting poor people by making “them hostages to this service in all their financial activity.”
Well, jeez, we can’t have that.
