Somali Al-Shabab militants

have posted this

picture of an unnamed man

they say they have

executed in Nairobi.

They claim he was a spy

working for British and Kenyan

intelligence services,

attempting to disrupt

the recruiting and trafficking

of young Western Muslims.

Al-Shabab

extremism within Kenya

escalated with the Westgate

shopping mall attack

in Nairobi two years ago,

in which 67 people died

and 175 were injured.

In April, the group massacred

147 students and staff

at Garissa University College.

Al-Shabab want to

impose their strict version

of Sharia law across

the Horn of Africa.

They bitterly resent the role of

Britain and the Kenyan military

in propping up the UN-backed

Somali government.
