Al Shabaab once issued a fatwa banning consumption of samosas saying the triangular fried samosa looks like the Christian Holy Trinity and was anti-Islamic. In Somalia, traders sell samosas filled with meat keema and veggies. Al Shabaab activists used loudspeakers and asked people to avoid eating samosas saying it was against Islam.
According to a CNN report, Al Shabaab once announced a reward of 10 camels for anybody targeting US president Barack Obama and 10 hens for anybody targeting the then US secretary of state Hillary Clinton. This announcement was posted on a jehadi website by Fouad Mohammed Khalaf, an Al Shabaab leader. Fouad, according to US sources, used to collect donations for Al Shabaab.
