No Journalist can be trusted



            This very interesting article was written about a man named Hassan Hanafi who used to be a very respected journalist that was until people out he was working for Al-Shabaab terrorist group. This man who was such a respected journalist working in Somalia got caught using his media connections to spy on and betray other journalists that he used to work with. He would give other journalist false information, and even was convicted of assassinations. After being convicted of assassinations he got put on death trial, which his last words were, “today, I’m being killed in the way I chose, which was to die for the sake of Allah. I don’t fear execution”. 
            Hassan worked for Holy Quran radio as a reporter and news broadcaster from 2003 to 2005 before grouping up joining Al-Shabaab, but four years later they overtook that radio station and put out airwaves of what they were going to do. When this got found out so did Hassan working for this group. He wasn’t only caught working for this group but he was a senior commander in the battlefields and even got promoted to midlevel militant commander.

            He got away doing this for years, which is really such a shame. This man who should be putting out the terrible things this group does, was actually working for them the whole time doing all the bad things they do. This honestly makes me scared for this world that people can do such a thing as he even got quoted saying, “I personally killed one journalist, and that was Sheikh Nur abkey, while the four other were murdered by my fellow fighters” when I read this I honestly didn’t think it could be true. This man got his fellow journalist killed and even killed one for this awful group. If this dosent truly scare everyone in this world I really don’t know what will.
