Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The al-Qaeda related terror group al-Shabab ambushed and killed two top Islamists in Somalia after the duo had a falling out with al-Shabab leadership.
Omar Hammami, known as al-Amriki, and Osama al-Britani were killed in a village southwest of the capital Mogadishu. Al-Britani was a British citizen and al-Amriki was an American.
Al-Amriki was known for rapping jihadist songs that were loaded onto YouTube. He left the al-Shabab group earlier this year and had been in hiding. The U.S. State Department had placed a $5 million bounty on al-Amriki.
The two men were allies of Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys who left al-Shabab in June. Aweys is now in custody of the UN-backed Somali government and is believed to be providing intelligence against his former group. Al-Shabab has been hunting down and killing anyone connected to Aweys.
Al-Amriki was born and raised in Alabama and started on a path to become a radical convert to Islam during a visit to Syria as a teen. His father is a Sunni Muslim but was much less orthodox than his son.
