Compass: “Somalia – Islamists Behead Two Sons of Christian Leader”
— Compass Direct News reports: “extremists have beheaded two young boys in Somalia because their Christian father refused to divulge information about a church leader, and the killers are searching Kenya’s refugee camps to do the same to the boys’ father.”
— “Before taking his Somali family to a Kenyan refugee camp in April, 55-year-old Musa Mohammed Yusuf himself was the leader of an underground church in Yonday village, 30 kilometers (19 miles) from Kismayo in Somalia. He had received instruction in the Christian faith from Salat Mberwa.”
— “Militants from the extremist group al Shabaab entered Yonday village on Feb. 20, went to Yusuf’s house and interrogated him on his relationship with Mberwa, leader of a fellowship of 66 Somali Christians who meet at his home at an undisclosed city. Yusuf told them he knew nothing of Mberwa and had no connection with him. The extremists left but said they would return the next day.”
— “At noon the next day, as his wife was making lunch for their children in Yonday, the al Shabaab militants showed up. ”
— “Batula Ali Arbow, Yusuf’s wife, recalled that their youngest son, Innocent, told the group that their father had left the house the previous day”
— “The extremists ordered her to stop what she was doing and took hold of three of her sons — 11-year-old Abdi Rahaman Musa Yusuf, 12-year-old Hussein Musa Yusuf and Abdulahi Musa Yusuf, 7.”
— “‘I watched my three boys dragged away helplessly as my youngest boy was crying,’ Arbow said. ‘I knew they were going to be slaughtered.'”
