Al shabaab, mrc are one, KIMAIYO

The Mombasa Republican Council
has established links with Al
Shabaab, police boss David Kimaiyo
said on Sunday, just two weeks
before Kenya marks one year since
the Westgate Mall attack in which
the Somalia-based terrorist group
killed 69 people.
The two organisations are now
working closely, according to Mr
Kimaiyo.
MRC is localised secession group at
the Coast. Al-Shabaab, on the other
hand, is fighting to establish a
Taliban-style state in Somalia. Its
leader, Ahmed Godane, was killed
last week in a US airstrike and at
the weekend, the group announced
that it had picked Ahmed Omar
Abu Ubaidah to replace him.
Godane is believed to be one of the
masterminds of the Westgate
attack.
