he most-wanted American jihadi in Somalia has tweeted bloody photos of himself after an apparent failed assassination attempt.
Omar Hammami, a former member of militant
Islamic group al-Shabab, posted photos of his bloodied face and neck
after having allegedly been shot by an assassin whilst sitting in a tea
shop in Somalia.
After falling out
with the religious group, Hammami has publicised several death threats
made against him, announcing last Friday that al-Shabab's leader was
sending forces to kill him.
"Just been shot in neck by Shabab assassin, not critical yet," the 29-year-old posted, amongst a series of frantic tweets.
"Sitting in tea place then 3 shots behind to left, pistol I think, they ran," he later added.
Hammami
later revealed that the bullets had just missed his arteries and
windpipe and that he was being treated with antiseptic and gauze.
