情報官員：伊斯蘭國在索馬里擴充勢力
Pro-Islamic State Somali militants have grown in numbers and are receiving financial and military support from Yemen, a Somali top intelligence official told the VOA Somali Service.
Abdi Hassan Hussein, the former Director of the Puntland Intelligence Agency (PIA) said when the pro-IS Somali faction was founded in October last year it had about 20-30 men, but has since set up training camps and recruited more fighters. He said the group’s fighters now number between 100-150 fighters.
He said Islamic State has welcomed its Somalia branch and has started delivering supplies through their affiliate faction in Yemen.
Hussein said the government and African Union troops can’t win against al-Shabab or IS factions militarily, and urged them to confront the groups ideologically索馬里一名高層情報官員告訴美國之音索馬里語言組說，親伊斯蘭國的索馬里激進分子人數增多，而且得到來自也門的資金和軍事支持。
前邦特蘭情報局局長侯賽因說，這個親伊斯蘭國的索馬里分支去年10月成立，當時只有大約20到30名成員，隨後建立了訓練營地，並招募戰鬥人員。侯賽因說，目前該組織已有100至150名戰鬥人員。
侯賽因表示，伊斯蘭國對索馬里分支表示歡迎，並開始通過在也門的關係爲其提供物資。
侯賽因說，索馬里政府和非盟軍隊不能在軍事上戰勝青年黨或伊斯蘭國分支武裝，並敦促他們從意識形態上與這些激進組織進行抗衡。
