And the winner receives – weapons of mass destruction. It was a contest aimed at kids aged 10-17 in Somalia's capital city of Mogadishu. The station chose the top three teenagers who best recited the Quran, Islam's bible. Radio Andalus, operated by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab. gave the winner cash and a Russian-made AK-47 assault rifle. Second and third place finishers were each given cash - and live hand grenades. London's Daily Mail says this is the third year Radio Andalus has run this type of contest. In a previous year, the grand prize winner received a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and it quotes an al-Shabaab representative as saying during the prize ceremony, "Youths should use one hand for education and the other for a gun to defend Islam."
