Ismail Muse Ahmed Guled, an ethnic Gudabursi man from Habar-Affaan (Heebjire) sub clan, was born in Mogadishu’s Madina district and grew up in Mogadishu. In his early years he used to claim a Sheekhaal clan membership while he is present in Mogadishu and claims his Gudabursi whenever he is in outside of the city.
Guled whose father was a religious scholar or Imam for Sheekhaal’s Reer-aw Qudub sub clan had been in Europe for some time.
Guled is believed that he was behind two deadly bomb attacks on Djibouti's La Chaumiere restaurant, popular with Westerners in Menelik Avenue, downtown Djibouti on 24 May, 2014.
Guled has both Somali and Dutch citizenships and got married his fiancé in the Tilburg town, of North Brabant, Netherlands. but later he married an other extremist female named Lula Ahmed Dahir .
Somali Dutch female Lula Joined Islamist Al-Shabaab,she was trained in Barawe of Lower Shabelle region but later 2014 she started a work in Central Hotel Mogadishu as Manager.
Guled, who was a member of Somaliland's UCID political party, married Kaho Ujer Ajami, sister of a famous Somali musician, Hassan Ujeri Ajami.
Kaho, whom we reached out on phone rejected to comment on her husband’s activity, but said that she will get in terrible.
She told some people that her husband was killed in a suicide attack on Somalia Parliament, but others that have made contact with her says that she told them that they divorced each other a while ago, which is a rather contradictory details.
Kaho says that her husband joined with Al-Shabab without her knowledge, but she did not notify this to security agencies of the United Kingdom.
Her brother-in law, Guelleh Sheikh Musa, lives in London, but yet unknown what he knows about his brother's case.
After Djibouti's terrorist attack Guled escaped from Borama, where Somaliland's counterterrorism police hunted him down, but believed that officials from president Silanyo's cabinet helped him to escape from the police.
Using the tips and tricks of his terror group, Guled sent messeges from his group to his family telling them that he died in order to make his fate a history and forgotten.
Waagacusub Media has learned that terrorist, Guled, is alive and have perfected a plot to carry out new attacks in the country that he is hiding.
His uncle is a former Somaliland State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Rashid Sheikh Hassan, and he participated in a welcome ceremony to officials from UCID political party in 2010. Then, Mr. Hassan was deputy-chairperson of UCID party.
According to UK records Guled 43, failed to appear at Woolwich Crown Court on charges of actual bodily harm (ABH). The offence took place on March 16th 2010 at British Bakeries Road, Erith.
However, Somali society is advised to be vigilant from the wanted fugitives and report any suspicious person to the security forces. As they (perpetrators) are intending to cause irreparable destruction on Somali residents and the rest of the World alike with no apparent reason.
