Al-Qaeda linked Somali terrorists (al-Shabaab) have beheaded at least eleven civilians

Somali Islamist rebels have beheaded at least 11 civilians in the capital in the past two weeks, a campaign of terror that residents said Friday is designed to show the insurgency can still act in Mogadishu after withdrawing from their bases there earlier this month.

This story notes that al-Shabaab certainly seems to like their beheadings and amputations, but does not make the connection regarding their symbolic significance. The point al-Shabaab intends to make is that they are playing "by the book" as they fight to impose Islamic law.
