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.

He was recruited (like the others) in a Minneapolis mosque. The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood...

Hassan, who attended the Abubakar mosque, is one of 20 Minnesota Somalis who traveled in secret back to their homeland. Another Minnesota man, Shirwa Ahmed, became a suicide bomber in Somalia back in October. The F.B.I. is investigating to find out may be recruiting the men locally.

If Obama really wants to do the Moslum community a good turn, he instruct the FBI to clean out the riff/raff.

I’m surprised the FBI is still investigating this kind of case. Wait until Holder and Obumma find out... heads will roll.

Mosques are to be respected, not investigated. This whole “investigation” smacks of extreme discrimination and profiling.

If local immams in the US want to coerce young men and boys into fighting for AQ in Somalia, who the hell is the FBI to stand in their way?

Sick ‘em, Holder. Sick ‘em, Obumma. Clean those racist Bush holdovers out of the FBI.

“(He) was a brilliant student with straight A’s and on top of his class,” Ahmed testified at a Senate hearing in March focusing on recruitment efforts by al-Shabaab. “He was an ambitious kid with the hope to go to Harvard University to study medicine or law and become a medical doctor or a lawyer.”

Yea, right after he murdered a few infidels.

“Yea, right after he murdered a few infidels”.

Couldn’t agree with your statement more.
