They leave a trail of chaos and destruction.

A group of insurgents calling themselves “al-Shabab” are waging war in northern Mozambique.

They’re linked to the Islamic State group and accused of heinous crimes – including beheadings.

The violence got so serious, Mozambique has even looked abroad for help.
