There's a reason so much of the Sharaabtoon has been buzzing about Africa so far this year. Now, the Pentagon's anti-IED (Improvised Explosive Device) has confirmed that al Qaeda-linked groups in their attacks in Somalia (al Shabaab), Nigeria (Boko Haram) and Kenya (probably al Shabaab again) are using more sophisticated devices to kill more people with each explosion.
Nigeria saw a nearly fourfold jump in the number of improvised explosive device incidents last year, while Kenya saw an 86 percent increase, according to the unit.

So instead we have the imaginary Sharaaabtoon, a place where various self-proclaimed mujahadeen will be brought forth to be seen and overheard, just as if they were the clientele of a bar. Remember: no shahada, no service. Twitter: @Sharaabtoon

Featured News: al Shabaab bombings in Kenya?
The deadliest attack in Kenya in two years took place this weekend, as hand grenades were used to kill six people in Nairobi. The Kenyan Government has quickly blamed al Shabaab, but al Shabaab has denied responsibility.
