Al-Shabaab Bans Women From Wearing Bras Unless They Are Packed With Explosives

Somalia: Al-Shabaab Bans Women From Wearing Bras Unless They Are Packed With
Explosives.


How lovely.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 23 - Two Kenyan soldiers were killed in Somalia on
Sunday in a major attack that also left 11 Al Shabaab militants dead.

Military Spokesman Emmanuel Chirchir said a Transitional Federal
Government (TFG) soldier was also killed in the air strike.

On Saturday, Cyrus Oguna of the Defence Forces said the militia had
resorted to using women wearing bras fitted with explosives to further their
cause.

Oguna said that the militia was getting desperate and had started using
unconventional means to strike back at the Kenyan army.

He added that the outlawed group was also using propaganda, such as
killing civilians and claiming they are KDF officials, as their new weapon.

"We are all aware that Al Shabaab for a long time prohibited women from
wearing bras. The phenomenon that is emerging now is that Al-Shabaab is
using these women who are in their ranks and supplying them with bras that
are fitted with explosives and this is something that is critical even to
homeland security," he explained.
