Organization:notesAl Shabaab is an organized but shifting Islamist group dedicated to establishing a Somali caliphate, waging war against the enemies of Islam, and removing all foreign forces and Western influence from Somalia. Although primarily active within Somalia, Al Shabaab has carried out mass-casualty attacks against civilians and military forces in countries that are considered hostile by the group, including Kenya and Ethiopia over the past two decades. It is the strongest, best organized, financed, and armed military group in Somalia, controlling the largest stretch of territory in southern Somalia. Al Shabaab has carried out suicide bombings and attacks using land mines and remote-controlled roadside bombs, as well as targeted assassinations against Ethiopian and Somali security forces, other government officials, journalists, and civil society leaders. It has also carried out suicide bombings in Uganda in retaliation for the presence of Ugandan peacekeeping forces in Somalia. In October 2017, Al Shabaab detonated two vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices in Mogadishu, killing 512 people and injuring 312 others. In December 2019, Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for a bombing at a busy intersection on the outskirts of Mogadishu, Somalia, killing at least 78 people and injuring at least 51. In October 2022, Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for detonating two Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices minutes apart near a busy Mogadishu intersection where the Ministry of Education building was located. The attack levelled buildings and burnt dozens of cars, killing at least 100 people were killed, and wounding an additional 300. The group is believed to be closely linked with Al Qaida and formally pledged allegiance to Usama bin Laden and his terrorist network.ca_listed_terroristsca-lte-10-al-shabaab
