Ahmed Ali Hussein, known as Ahmed Keyse, who was serving as the militants chief of spy's deputy, was charged with giving military information to FBI since 2004 and meeting with them. Meanwhile, Ahmed, 44-years-old, who was a close friend of the Al Shabaab's reclusive leader Ahmed Abdi Godane [or Sheikh Muktar Abdelrahman Abu Zubeyr] was executed by firing squad at Maslah military camp, north of Mogadishu on Sunday as hundreds of coerced residents hardly watched him execution. Some people said that Mr. Ali was a member of Al-Ictisam religious sect which condemned the so-called 'Jihad' by Al Shabaab. It certainly is possible that Ahmed Ali Hussein was passing on intelligence to the US. US Special Operations Command, the FBI, and the CIA have been hunting top al Qaeda leaders such as Fazul Mohammed, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, and Abu Talha al Sudani for their roles in the 1998 attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. And the US has had success; Nabhan, Sudani, and other top Shabaab leaders such as Aden Hashi Ayro have been killed in missile strikes and special operations raids over the past several years. Fazul, who is considered the most dangerous al Qaeda operative in East Africa, is still alive, however. Interestingly enough, Fazul, who is now al Qaeda's leader in East Africa and a senior leader in Shabaab, served as the Islamic Courts Union's intelligence chief prior to being promoted. The Islamic Courts ran much of central and southern Somalia before the Ethiopian invasion in December 2006. Shabaab, which was a part of the Islamic Courts, ignited the insurgency against Ethiopian and Somali forces.
