Amal Farah (left) was stunned to discover that her mother Faduma Jama (right) had become a pivotal member of Al Shabab, the Somali jihadists behind the Westgate mall massacre in Nairobi.
Mother-of-two Ms Farah (pictured inset as a child with her mother in Mogadishu) had cut off all contact from her strict Muslim family five years earlier and fearful for her life, had changed her number, her name and hidden her whereabouts. Known as Mama Shabab, her mother Faduma Jama allegedly ran a safe house for suicide bombers and Western fighters recruited into the militant Islamic organisation.
