Funding al-Shabaab: How aid money ends up in terror group's hands
Baidoa, Somalia (CNN)The
murderous al Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab is making millions of dollars
each year by exploiting foreign aid money sent to Somalia by the very
western nations who are trying to eliminate the terror group.
A
CNN investigation has revealed how money given directly by the United
Nations to people displaced by conflict and famine is ending up in the
hands of Africa's oldest terrorist organization.
Former
members of al-Shabaab and Somali intelligence agents said the terror
group is extorting thousands of dollars per day through road blocks and
taxes on merchants attempting to transport food and supplies to sell to
internally displaced people in towns where they are concentrated .
