Twitter War

 Somalia's "al-Shabab" created a Twitter account to help spread their version of the fighting.

 "Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab has launched an account on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

The feed has attracted dozens of followers since it was created on Wednesday.

The account might be an attempt by al-Shabab to counter Kenya's military spokesman, Maj Emmanuel Chirchir, who regularly tweets about operations in Somalia.

Kenya sent troops into Somalia in October to fight the militants."
