Two new franchises for al-Qaeda: The Somali group al-Shabaab and the Ras Kamboni Rebels both pledged their support to al-Qaeda, but al-Shabaab is the most dangerous of the two.

Their goal: Create the Islamic State of Somalia. These two groups have joined the likes of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, formerly run my Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s second in command and the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, now known as the Organization of al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb that joined in 2007.
