Reuters AlertNet - Q+A-Who is behind Somalia's kidnappings?
Somalia’s most radical Islamist group Al-Shabab took the two French hostages into the country’s far-southern jungle area of Juba region bordering with Kenya day after the militants forcefully seized the French men from the hands of (habab-gidir ) (hawiye )Hizbul Islam led by Hassan Dahir Aweys, reports say on Sunday.Reliable sources told tf.sf that the French men had fallen in the hands of the Al-Qaeda linked group Al-Shabab and could probably face execution if there are not found ways to freed them before being beheaded.
The kidnapping operation on the two French men was carried out by the former (habar-gidir )(hawiye ) Islamic Courts militia supporting the government who are now under the command of minister of interior Abdukadir Ali Omar. Reports are confirming the militiamen are hailing from Omar’s Seleban sub-clan of Habargidir clan.French abductionIt was early morning, the kidnappers parked a battle-wagon and other small car at the front of the Safahi hotel and then they disarmed the gun man guarding the Hotel’s entrance by hoax way.They directly headed the room of the two French officers in the Hotel where they easily took them into their battle-wagon as the African Union peacekeepers were some meters away from the Hotel. The French men were later handed to Hizbul Islam group.The Kidnapping plan was jointly worked by the driver of the battle-wagon and the commander of the soldiers loyal to the government’s interior minister.The soldiers did know nothing about the operation but they later came to know when the two French men picked out of the (habar-gidir)( hawiye )own hotel and they made blockage against their commander until he was captured by the government troops but the driver of the war-vehicle escaped with the hostages.The militiamen brought the French hostages to Hizbul Islam in Mogadishu but days after they were seized by Al-Shabab hardliners.Interior minister aware study by TF.SF is conforming that the minister of interior in the current government Abdukadir Ali Omar know about the act of the kidnapping on the two French men that fallen in the hands of the Al-Shabab terror group. hawiye wing

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
