A Minnesota man recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group overseas may have been assassinated in Somalia by the very terrorist group he went there to help.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating for several months at least 20 Somali-American men from the Minneapolis area who recently traveled to Somalia to train with the terrorist group al-Shabaab.

Excellent follow-up story to the thread just previous to this one..
;-)
Aha! Internal squabbles. I like it.

Nice to see the media reporting good news for a change...
By 20 seconds.....
Bye-bye thread.....
What happened? The boy fell ill and probably wanted to go home. Seems like he died of lead poisoning.
No No No.....!!!!!!
The Fox story is even better that the Strib article...
Fox will actually report the facts where the Strib will sugar coat it to protect the local Somali community.....
Link to other article for more information:

Was he a Christian missionary?
Different articles, different information same subject, Please keep both.
I posted a thread the other day and was the first one to post it and the mods locked it and linked back to an unrelated thread. Later that day, I say the exact article posted and the mods let it go.
I guess someone doesn’t like me.....
Thanks; I needed a good laugh!
We love you.....
Your article is much better. Just because I was first, doesn’t make mine best. I find them complimentary..
Heck, when this story first broke, it was being reported here in the local media that this kid died in November....
And people wonder why the truth takes so long to come out....
Send them all back. All the employees at Denver airport are Somalis and I have seen them in other airports. They are trouble with a capital T.
Who do you suppose funds these mosques?
well if we can have multiple articles about Carradine then these 2 should hopefully be able to stay :)
oh come on, how can we not like you with a tag line like that... you’re great
Now hmmmmm....
If the subject left America for Somalia was he really recruited in Somalia (maybe via the Internet) or was he recruited here (maybe in a mosque)?
Just wondering out loud.
A CLUE....
SNIPPET FROM THE LINK IN POST NO. 1:
"Ahmed accuses a local mosque of helping al-Shabaab recruit his nephew and others in the Minneapolis area.
"Like his peers, Burhan Hassan was never interested in Somali politics, or understood Somali clan issues," Ahmed said during testimony. "These kids have no perception of Somalia except the one that was formed in their mind by their teachers at (a local mosque). We believe that these children did not travel to Somalia by themselves. There must be others who made them understand that going to Somalia and participating the fighting is the right thing to do."
