Rwanda police shoot dead 'ISIS recruiter'
Have we seen anything in Rwanda before?
[AlAhram] An imam accused of seeking to recruit young men to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group was rubbed out in the Rwandan capital Saturday night while trying to escape from a police escort, police said in a statement Monday.

Muhammad Mugemangango, deputy imam of the Kimiromko mosque in the capital Kigali, was rubbed out as he sought to escape police custody during an escorted visit to his home, they said.

"He was under investigations for mentoring Rwandan youths into Jihad and recruiting them to join Islamic State in Syria," the police statement said.

Police said Mugemangango were tossed into the calaboose "on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities" but tried to run away after he accompanied police to his home to conduct a search.

On the way back, he jumped off the vehicle and was shot, they said.

Rwanda's Muslim community is tiny -- accounting for just two percent of the population -- and maintains a low profile. There is no history of radicalisation and no known cases of Rwandans joining ISIS.

However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the police statement said it believed the "formation of terror networks" was underway.

It gave no further details except to add that, "we will do our best to unmask the network and deal with them in accordance with the law."
According to Wikipedia, 4.6% of the Rwandan population is Muslim, equally divided between Hutus and Tutsis, the rest of the population being Catholic. Given the history of both Hutus and Tutsis, engaging in the hard jihad of the sword seems more than a tad suicidal.
