Terrorists go green

-

ISLAMIST terror group Al Shabaab is not known for its environmen­tal good deeds, but it seems some members may have seen the light.

The murderous east African jihadists have announced that they have banned single-use plastic bags.

The Somali group, which has links to Al Qa’ida, said plastic “poses a serious threat to the wellbeing of humans and animals alike”. It also announced a ban on the logging of native trees.

Hypocritic­ally, the brutal terrorists, who massacred dozens at Nairobi’s Westgate shopping mall in 2013, have not adopted the same ecological standards for Kenya’s elephants – ivory poaching has been used to fund their savage campaigns.
