Mogadishu (RBC) The American-born Al Shabab member who has been fighting alongside with Al Shabab fighters in Somalia since 2009 has revealed that he has survived assassination attempt by  his fellow Al Shabab men, he mentioned in his twitter account.

Omar Hamammi, U.S citizen better also known as Abu Mansur al Amriki in Somalia says he was attacked with pistols and was shot but not dead.

“Just been shot in neck by Shabab assassin. not critical yet.” he tweeted on Thursday.

“Sitting in tea place then 3 shots behind to left. pistol i think. they ran.” he added.

One picture from Al Amriki’s account showed as the backside of his neck was bleeding. Another picture on Al Amriki’s twitter account shows his hands and legs with blood as he was wearing white trousers.

“They are sending forces from multiple directions. we are few but we might get back up. abu zubayr  [Al Shabab commander] has gone mad. he’s starting a civil war.” he blamed the Al Shabab commander was trying to kill him several times before.

There had been growing tension between Al Amriki and the senior commanders of Al Shabanb after Al Amriki strictly criticized the behavior of Abu Zubeyr who is the group’s top commander.  Since then there had been at least three assassination attempts to behead him.
