A third Minneapolis Somali man has been killed in his homeland, community leaders said Saturday, his family having learned his fate by stumbling onto a website that contained photos of his bloody corpse.
While the body was identified only as that of a "foreign jihadist" or "fighter," a closeup of the face left Jamal Bana's mother with no doubt. The young man had been shot through the temple.
FBI officials said Saturday they could not confirm the news.
Abdirizak Bihi, a community activist who visited with Bana's mother at her south Minneapolis home Saturday, said that Bana's family learned of his death early Saturday while searching the web for news on the fighting in Mogadishu.
"They kept scanning the website for Somali news and there it was," he said. "What made it worse is that the mom saw the dead body."

Ping...
So was he a US citizen or a Somali then?
What? Enjoying the benies and give-aways in the land of the free and the home of the brave isn’t good enough for some folks?
From the sound of it, Minnesota is a breeding ground for this hatred. I suspect adding zeros to that number better reflects reality.
‘tis such a pity! But that’s what he wanted to do, I guess.
Volunteer for jihad and get what you wanted
In a report on a local TV newscast, a family member was interviewed and they stated that he was an American citizen...FWIW.
He was probably very respectful, kind to everyone and liked by people in the neighborhood. Very honest, always cheerful and didn’t have an unkind word to say about anyone. Who would do such a terrible thing to such a nice and well-liked young man?
Thanks - I needed a good laugh!
Thanks for the ping, ButThreeLeftsDo.

Now, for you Somalis who might be reading this thread; do you really want to go to Somalia and be a jihadi?
Think carefully. Everyday is a gift from God and He did NOT create you to be a drug using, homicide bomber or jihadi fighter. Think carefully. Appreciate America. Appreciate the freedom you have here. Think about it.

I’m curious to know if these young men went of their own free will, or were taken. Did their parents know, and if not, how did these young men, if they were under the age of 18, get out of the country without their permission?
linky broky- page not found...
According to previous stories, these men were pillars of the community until someone got into their heads and turned them, suddenly, into jihadists. They just left, telling none of their family members.....
Noy surprising with the Strib.......
If that doesn’t work, I’ll FR mail you the entire text of the story. Lemme know....
What the heck is a “Minneapolis Somali” man?
Poor Jihadi! May he rest in the bosoms of 70 virgins.
Then, if they were under 18, how did they get the boys out of the country? Minors have to have a parent's permission in order to travel out of the country. Did the jihadists create false documents for them?
