Spokesman for the moderate Islamist group Sheik Abdullahi Sheik Abdurahman Abu Yusuf said in a press conference in the central Somali town of Dhusamareeb late Thursday that his intelligence services have gained reliable information that Al shabaab are in the final preparations of planned terror attacks which will be carried out in the near future.
“The information we have is very serious and the attacks are planned to be carried out in the sea ports of Mogadishu, Bosasso, Mombassa, Djibouti, Aden and Nairobi’s Wilson airport” the moderate Islamist spokesman stated.
“The attacks will be used by hijacked boats and the small planes that import Qad (The green narcotic leaf) from Kenya to the terrorist-administered Kilometer fifty airport in the southern Somali Lower Shabelle region” he added.
Last month, at least nine commercial boats which were carrying goods to Mogadishu were hijacked by Somali pirates and some of them are suspected to be in the hands of Al shabab or buccaneers with ties to them.
He called on the governments of Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Yemen to be more vigilant of the imminent terrorist attacks by the Alqaeda-proxy in Somalia- Al shabab which has already carried out many suicide attacks in the country.
