Details
Mozambique is under attack from an Islamic State (ISIS) insurgency in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. The terrorists are locally known as Al-Shabab, but they have few connections to the Somali terrorists with the same name. The group has carried out beheadings, destroyed schools and hospitals, and abducted children.
