The Lord works in mysterious ways! Al-Shabaab founder surfaces to donate blood to Mogadishu bomb blast victims

On Saturday October 14th Al-Shabaab carried out the deadliest attack in the history of modern Somalia. Double car bombing in Mogadishu killed at least 277 people while more than 300 others sustained serious injuries.

Former Al-Shabaab deputy leader and spokesman Mukhtar Robow Ali aka Abu Mansur shocked many people when he turned up at the hospital to donate blood to blast victims.

Robow, a co-founder of the Somali terrorist group, turned himself over to authorities in the town of Hudur on August 13th 2017.

The former Al-Shabaab leader left the terrorist group in 2013 after falling out with its leader Ahmed Abdi Godane. Abdi Godane was killed a year later in September 2014 in a US drone strike.

There were mixed reactions on social media when Robow turned up to donate blood. Some people called for his prosecution for the atrocities he committed while other were cool with him donating blood.
