Two US Women Jailed For Financing Terror In Kenya And Somalia
Two women in the US were Friday sentenced to more than a decade in prison for providing support to terror groups in Kenya and Somalia.
Muna Osman Jama and Hinda Osman Dhirane who were arrested in 2014 were sentenced to twelve years and eleven years consecutively for conspiracy to provide material support as well as providing material support to Al-Shabaab.
Jama, 36, and Dhirane, 46, had been charged with sending money to the terror group which was used
to fund military operations and safe houses. The accused are said to have used chatrooms to raise the funds and they openly expressed support for the Al-Shabaab.
According to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), one of the safe houses was used by Al-Shabaab to store weapons and prepare for attacks.
