Galgaduud (Sunatimes) Moderate Islamist group Ahlu Sunna Wal-jama’a says that Al-Shabaab plotted the killing of  Fazul Abdullahi Mohamed, al-Qaida’s mastermind who planned East Africa’s deadliest terror attack in recent history.

Sheikh Abu Yusuf Al-Qaddi, the spokesman of ASWJ said their intelligence services received information revealing that Al-Shabaab leaders were behind the death of Fazul who was killed by TFG forces at a Mogadishu security checkpoint.

Al-Qaddi who spoke to Bar-kulan said that senior Al-Shabaab leaders have intentionally misled Abdalla; a conspiracy that led to his killing.

He added that Fazul Abdalla came to reshuffle the top ranks of the group, among them Ahmed Godane, the leader of Al-Shabaab, following accusations that they have misappropriated funds and failed to resist advancing TFG forces from several fronts in the country.

ASWJ welcomed the killing of top Al-Qaeda operative in East Africa.
