SNIPPET: "A federal grand jury has indicted a group of Somali-Americans on terror-related charges after more than 20 young men from the Minneapolis area were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, according to two law enforcement sources.
The indictments have yet to be unsealed, but an announcement is expected in the next few weeks. One law enforcement source told FOX News the grand jury already has handed up indictments against at least three people.
Among those charged is a man from Minneapolis who went to war-torn Somalia and then, about four months ago, relocated to Seattle, according to the two sources and a leader in the Minneapolis Somali community. The man was then arrested in a Seattle airport and transferred to a jail in Minneapolis, where he is currently being detained, according to the law enforcement sources."

You’re welcome prisoner 6.
but the investigation has also been active in Seattle; Columbus, Ohio; Cincinnati; Boston; and San Diego.

Guess we must extrapolate what the terrorist are up to: Multiple attacks, in multiple cities? What may these cities have in common? Trains? Military bases? Full blooded Americans?
OPINION:
GENERALLY SPEAKING...
The common denominator (if I can sum up years of posts in a single sentence before going to bed) is the global jihad — which includes the U.S.A..
And soon we will have Hamas sympathizers here on our dime. Don’t you just love multiculturalism?
A long time age I read an article in the paper regard Somali refugees. They had a large number in Atlanta and the article was regarding how hard it was for them to assimilate because of the the cultural differences, lack of any education and language barriers. I distinctly remember that there were other countries in Africa that were willing to take them but our state department would not hear of it.
Social engineering is cruel and insane!

Every Somali should be suspect. It’s not like they’re hard to spot.
This sounds like it is related to the tribal politics of Somalia rather than a cell planning attacks in the US. They have been recruiting young men to go back to Somalia and fight in the tribal militias.
As long as they stay in Somalia, it isn’t that bad. Fewer angry cab drivers in the US.
I support a Somali repatriation airdrop....from 15,000 feet!

I haven’t forgotten the 2 African Embassy bombings, and wouldn’t trust any terrorist to be limited to fighting in Somalia
