Somali Rebels 'Get Hold Of Gaddafi Missiles'

[Jacaylbaro]

Somalia's hard line Islamist rebels are reported to have taken delivery of up to 30 surface-to-air missiles smuggled to them from Libya since the fall of Muammar Gadaffi.

 

According to intelligence sources in Mogadishu and western diplomats, the "SAM 7" shoulder launched missiles, similar to those used in an attempt to down an Israeli airliner in Mombasa, Kenya, 10 years ago, were delivered to the al Shabab-held port city of Kismayo recently.

 

The al Qaeda-linked Shabab have become a major focus of international counter-terrorism operations and have been described as the fasted growing threat to the West. They are accused of turning southern Somalia into a training area for global jihadists.

 

If they have taken delivery of these highly sophisticated weapons, which are relatively easy to use, there is a clear danger that they will be used to target Kenyan Air Force jets, and helicopters, currently in action in southern Somalia against the Shabab.
