Understanding the al-Shabaab networks by Raffaello Pantucci

The Australian Government on 21 August 2009 officially listed the al-Shabaab group as a terrorist organisation. This paper examines the danger posed by the Somali-based group, and concludes that we are likely to see an increase in Westernised Muslims appearing on the battlefield in Somalia. Eventually we will see some of these men come home. It would not be surprising if there was an increase in localised targeting by these people of Western interests.http://www.aspi.org.au/publications/publication_details.aspx?ContentID=226&pubtype=-1
