DAILY POST: Here are some of AL SHABAAB’s idiotic but tough training methods – Nobody knew these dogs do this to brainwash their suicide bombers Politics 06:12

Tuesday January 22, 2019 - A former Al Shabaab militant has revealed the tough training methods that the group subjects its fighters to with an aim of brainwashing them. In an interview with CNN, the former militant who was only referred to as Musa for security reasons revealed how Al Shabaab trainers brainwash the insurgents by doing some hardcore drills that can be described as brutal. Musa said while in Somalia, he took part in the decapitation of a prisoner of war. He was part of group that took turns with a knife to saw the neck of the victim - a tactic used by the terror group to ensure everyone's involved in the crime. "That's part of the brainwashing," he said, "they told us it is part of the training." He said he was then ordered to "surround the head, kick it like a football and pass it to another person." Musa said basic military training is reinforced by involuntary collusion in atrocities and this “reduces fear in you". He also said suicide bombers do not train together with other fighters and they are usually taken to a secret hideout where they are indoctrinated for at least a year with daily Quranic studies, lectures by a "Sheikh," and intense physical and military training. “Training with Al Shabaab is very, very tough," Musa said.
