Weird or what?

Terrorist group al-Shabaab have hacked up a giraffe in a bizarre 'jihadi tourism' video in the hope of attracting new recruits.

The 16-minute video released by the Islamic extremist Somali-based group appears to try to appeal to prospective jihadists' adventurous sides.

The terrorists are seen hiking through the forest, travelling down a river in a boat, camping out in the jungle, fishing and and practising their target practice.

Several Caucasian-looking fighters are featured in the video but their faces are always blurred.

In one scene, a fighter jumps from a tree into a river and in an unmistakably British accent announces to his mates: "I'm a mermaid."

Apparently filmed in the Boni National Reserve, which borders Kenya and Somalia, the shocking video also shows the al-Qaeda affiliated group hunting a giraffe and hacking its body into pieces.


The group also hunt and cut up a buffalo.

"You eat, drink and hunt for free,” the video quotes Osama Bin Laden’s mentor Abdullah Azzam, who was assassinated in 1989, as saying.

“Not in Bangkok or Los Angeles, or paying $500 a night at a London hotel. It is an entertaining journey of tourism and hunting. Indeed, the tourism of my nation is jihad."

Speaking in Somali, one fighter says: "As you can see our brothers here get injured to ease our journey, Allah has granted us this great reward; a giraffe.

shortage of meat here. It's a great blessing from Allah.

"Here, you do not need a permit to hunt these animals. In the lands of Islam these animals are free."

The video also makes a threat to the Kenyan government for its recent attacks on al-Shabaab forces.

They say: "We also send our condolences to the widows of the Martyred Sheikhs and other Muslim brothers who were killed by the Kenyan government.
