Somalia Quiz Winner Given AK-47, Hand Grenades

 

Somalia Quiz Winner Given AK-47, Hand Grenades

 

In the southern Somalia port city of Kismayo, academic achievement is rewarded with military hardware.

 

To help celebrate the holy holiday of Ramadan, the al Qaeda-inspired Shabab insurgency sponsored a Koran recitation and general knowledge competition for young men aged 17-20.

 

The winner, Ahmed Yasin, was given an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle, two hand grenades and a laptop. Second place went to Hassan Yare, who took home one anti-tank mine and ammunition.
