Infighting within al Shabaab on whether to support al Qaeda or the Islamic State has led Shabaab to warn it will behead IS sympathisers in Somalia.

A statement was issued by al Shabaab spiritual head Sheikh Abdalla, through Radio-Andulus, aimed at stemming internal divisions and a possible split owing to growing ISIS influence.

Al Shabaab has in the past few weeks been battling internal rivalry, with two opposing factions fighting over allegiance to al Qaeda or ISIS.

Abdalla warned ISIS sympathisers will be beheaded immediately.
