A spokesperson for an al Qaeda-linked terror group is denying that the group “arrested” one of its own — a high-profile American member — just days after the American posted an online video in which he said he feared for his life.
Alabama-born Omar Hammami, also known as Abu Mansoor al-Amriki, traveled halfway around the world in 2006 to join the Somalia-based terror group al-Shabaab and has been an outspoken member and recruiter. But according to a video he uploaded Friday, he is on the outs with his fellow terrorists and is afraid they may kill him over their “differences.”
