An accused war criminal living in the United States is now working as a security guard at Dulles International Airport near Washington, DC.
A CNN investigation found that Yusuf Abdi Ali, who is accused of committing atrocities while he was a military commander during Somalia's brutal civil war, has been living a quiet life near the nation's capital for about 20 years.
He is just one of more than 1,000 accused war criminals living and working in the United States.
Yusuf Abdi Ali served as a commander in the Barre regime and is accused of terrorizing the Isaaq people, torturing clan members, burning villages and conducting mass executions.
As a result of CNN's investigation, Ali has been placed on administrative leave.
Ali passed a "full, federally mandated vetting process" that included an FBI background check and a TSA assessment.
However, when CNN initially asked Master Security about Ali, the company said it was "unaware of the pending litigation."
"He tortured people personally; he oversaw torture. He arrested people, stole their stuff, burned villages, executed masses of people," Roberts said. "At one point he had a school come out to view an execution."
The U.S. doesn't have jurisdiction over the events that played out in Somalia in the 1980s.
"There's about 1,000 suspected perpetrators in the United States," Roberts said.
In the last 12 years, ICE's Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center has arrested more than 360 people "for human rights-related violations." The agency has also removed more than 780 known or suspected human rights violators from the U.S. It currently has more than 125 active investigations.

While this case involves someone who came decades ago, what about the ones coming now?
Some say that Trumps concern about this can only be motivated by bigotry and ignorance.
But, but, but he’s black! So it’s OK.
If they can’t positively verify his background then the check should fail.
CELEBRATE DIVERSITY!!!!
This is criminal.
Democrats are alarmed that Republicans will try to deny him the right to vote.
Twenty years ago would have been smack in the middle of the last Democrat refugee facilitator’s term of office.
Curious if the American public will ever wake up to the realization Democrats in government aren’t a good idea.
Yay for security!
Let’s give CNN a plus for investigating this story.
A lot of folks on here love their Fox News but I’ve been saying for some time that Fox News is not much better than CNN.
Flying out of Dulles? Watch your cornhole.
NO MUSLIMS AT TSA!!!....NONE!!!! You can’t TRUST THEM!!!
“Ali passed a “full, federally mandated vetting process” that included an FBI background check and a TSA assessment. “
So mush for their vetting process. Now, let’s let in a couple hundred thousand unvetted Syrian Muslims into the US. What could possibly go wrong?
Is there anything so stupid that this country won’t stoop to doing it?
Well, it elected Obama ... twice.
And doesn’t want Americans to have American jobs.
So, I guess, no.
It feels like we’re living in the Twilight Zone
TSA is only marginally better than ISIS.
