If Al Qaeda are now on the scene, someone is going to be licked very hard.
Somalia's extremist Al-Shabaab fighters have joined ranks with Al-Qaeda, the terror network's chief Ayman al-Zawahiri announced in a video message posted on jihadist forums on Thursday.
"I will break the good news to our Islamic nation, which will... annoy the crusaders, and it is that the Shabaab movement in Somalia has joined Al-Qaeda," Zawahiri said.
"The jihadist movement is with the grace of Allah, growing and spreading within its Muslim nation despite facing the fiercest crusade campaign in history by the West," said Zawahiri in the video released by Al-Qaeda's media arm As-Sahab.
Armies from neighbouring countries are converging on the Al-Shabaab -- Kenyan forces in the south, Ethiopian soldiers in the west, and an African Union force in Mogadishu made up of 10,000 troops from Uganda, Burundi and Djibouti. (READ: Al-Shabaab propaganda video declares Jihad against Kenya)
