Attackers Tweet As They Assault UN Development Program Compound
Koreantoast writes "In another interesting example of the increasing use and sophistication of social media by non-governmental organizations, the Somali-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab live tweeted their latest attack, a suicide assault against a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) facility in Mogadishu which left 15 dead. During the event, they denounced UNDP, tweeting during the attack that the UN is 'a merchant of death & a satanic force of evil, has a long inglorious record of spreading nothing but poverty, dependency & disbelief' and proceeded to mock newly appointed UN Representative Nicholas Kay who is to arrive in Somalia later this month. Also of note is their initiation of communications with various press entities including the AP, BBC and IHS Janes through Twitter. Hat tip to Foreign Policy magazine for the story."
I'm not seeing a lot of Catholics nor Baptists suicide bombing anything.
Yep, christians never take place is such activities.
You know... except during The Troubles. And the civil rights movement. And lets just ignore the pro-lifers who murder. Oh, and the Westburrow Baptist church. And the 2011 car bombings in Norway. And the National Liberation Front of Tripura in India. And the Lord's Resistance Army. And going back a bit further the crusades, the inquisition, the forced conversion of natives and slaves. But I guess those aren't suicide attacks, so that makes them better.
