Hanafi turned his interest from journalism to terrorism - and joined Al-Shabaab. He used his media connections to spy on and betray fellow journalists, identifying reporters with negative opinions of Al-Shabaab and facilitating assassinations. Hassan Hanafi Hajji Abdi, 36, worked for Holy Quran Radio as a reporter and presenter from 2003 to 2005 before joining Al-Shabaab in late 2006.Four years later, Al-Shabaab overtook Holy Quran Radio in 2010, allegedly spreading propaganda over the airwaves.

He was promoted to midlevel militant commander by Ahmed Godane, the now deceased leader of Al-Shabaab. Four years later, Hanafi suffered blast wounds to his head and fled to Kenya, seeking treatment under a fake name. During his time with Al-Shabaab, Hanafi helped the Al Qaeda-linked terror group kill reporters in south and central Somalia. Hanafi admitted to killing Sheikh Nur Abkey, an editor at Somali National News Agency.
