Explosive first prize for team
Sunday 18 Oct, 2009
No luxury cruise but a ticket to jihad was the prize for the winners of a recent team quiz organised by Somalia’s insurgent Shebab group during the month of Ramadan.
“The reason the young men were rewarded with weapons is to encourage them to participate in the ongoing holy war against the enemies of Allah in Somalia,” Sheikh Abdullahi Alhaq said.
The winners - a team from Farjano district - were given a first prize consisting of one AK-47 assault rifle, two hand grenades, an anti-tank landmine and office supplies.
