Terrorist Radio Station Giving Somali Kids Guns And Bombs As Prizes

An Islamist insurgent radio station in Somalia is giving young children weapons as prizes for Quran recitals. It seems they are breeding mini-pirates right in Africa's back yard.

An Islamist insurgent radio station in Somalia is giving young children weapons as prizes for Quran recitals. It seems they are breeding mini-pirates right in Africa’s back yard.

The first reported contest took place on Monday, on Andulus radio station. The station is run by the al-Shabaab militia, which has strong ties with al-Qaeda. First place won a rifle and $700, the second prize winner won a rifle and $500, and the third prize winner received two bombs (unexploded).

They also gave away copies of the Quran, and Islamic theological commentaries. Nice, fellas.

When not staking a slice of Somalia’s media pie, al-Shabaab battles Somalia’s weak, UN-backed government.
