Al Jazeera is reporting the leader of Somalia’s main armed group al-Shabab has threatened to attack the United States if Barack Obama, the US president, does not embrace Islam.<\/p>\n
The group has not launched an attack outside Africa but western intelligence agencies have long been concerned about the group targetting young Somali-Americans for recruitment.<\/p>\n
“We tell the American President Barack Obama to embrace Islam before we come to his country,” Fuad Mohamed “Shongole” Qalaf, one of the rebel leaders, said in a radio broadcast on Monday, according to the report.<\/p>\n
