“Somali-owned travel agency in Tukwila raided in search”
By David Bowermaster
Seattle Times staff reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A joint terrorism task force has seized computers and files from a Somali-owned travel agency in Tukwila as part of an international search for Ruben Shumpert, a fugitive who fled to Somalia in November.

Shumpert, a South Seattle barber, had been due to appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Nov. 21 to be sentenced on felony charges of possession of a firearm and a related counterfeiting charge, but never appeared.

The search for Shumpert led investigators to Samala Travel, one of several Somali-owned businesses at the intersection of 146th Avenue South and International Boulevard.”

The Jihad Barber: They Took A Little Off The Top

Why did the feds allow that animals family to bring his body back to the U.S.They should have left it in Somalia so it could rot in the street.

The Feds need to thoroughly run background checks on all of these ingrates and if there is the slightest amount of sympathy towards these terror groups the should be placed on the first plane and flown back to where they come from.

I wonder if his side burned.

Shumpert’s aka is “Amir Abdul Muhaimin.”

“Another U.S. citizen, Ruben Luis Shumpert, an ex-convict Seattle barber and Muslim convert, was killed in Somalia earlier this year while fighting with al-Shabaab. Shumpert fled the U.S. for Somalia in 2006 before being sentenced on gun and counterfeit convictions associated with terrorism. In a taunting phone call to FBI agents after he had fled, Shumpert vowed that he and his Somali terrorist associates “would destroy everything the United States stood for.””

“An American Jihadi in Somalia and His Washington Friends in al Qaeda”

SNIPPET: “But perhaps the most important piece of the story is an admission that Shumpert turned to the Salafi strand of Islam after he met with some Muslims in Washington who had recently returned from fighting the jihad in Chechnya:

Allah guided him to the path of righteousness, when he met some brothers who had returned from Chechnya. He became acquainted with them, and they provided him with some educational and jihadi video recordings. Our knight was very fond of Shaykh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, may Allah have mercy on him, and he hoped to join [Zarqawi] in Mesopotamia.

In the bio we learn that these friends were not the Somalians who later convinced Shumpert to heed the call of Zawahiri and join the jihad in Somalia.

So, who are Ruben Shumpert’s friends who had been to Chechnya and are they still on the loose in Washington? “
