The FBI now says a Minneapolis man may have been the first U.S. citizen to carry out a terrorist suicide bombing.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said Monday, Shirwa Ahmed, who killed himself in an attack in Somalia in October, was recruited in the United States, specifically in Minnesota.
Mueller spoke in front of the Council on Foreign Relations.
In November, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS broke the story of young Somali men, missing from the Twin Cities and their possible connection to Ahmed.
Several months ago, the FBI and Justice Department began investigating cases of men of Somali descent who returned to Somali to join the conflict between an Islamic militant group and Ethiopian and African Union troops. The agency confirmed to ABC News that some of the men returned to the U.S. after fighting in Somalia.
The FBI has been looking at possible cases in Minneapolis, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, Seattle, San Diego and Washington DC.
US officials believe that the group could merge with elements of Al Qaeda's east African network and further gain influence destabilizing the region.
Mueller said, "World politics often shape terrorist and criminal threats against the United States… A crisis in the horn of Africa may well have a ripple effect in Minneapolis."
“The FBI finally figures it out......”
Took ‘em long enough!/s Mpls. has had a lot of Islamic fundamentalist-type activity the past few yrs. IIRC, like supermarket cashiers refusing to handle packages of pork, and cab drivers who won’t give rides to people who are carrying bottles of liquor.
“But the FBI covered it up.”
yep....
The next US citizen suicide bomber may do his thing in a shopping mall.
Hey, but give them foot baths!
Let’s not be profiling here. Somalia is a nationality of peace. Most Somalians are moderate Somalians and do not follow the perverted form of radical Somalianism which is not true Somalianism at all, and is reviled by the majority of Somalians. Or something to that effect.
“Honestly, this makes steam come out of my ears.”
Try my shoes on....
I buried my older brother in the early ‘80s in a cemetary in Burnsville, MN. I still control three plots there. Several years ago, the cemetary was sold to a Muslim business group.
Guess which US citizen, Somali, suicide bomber is buried in the self-same cemetary???
My 91 year-old Mother is beside herself and wants me to sell the remaining plots and find somewhere else for her son....
The plots are for sale. I’ve started the bidding at $10 million. Each.
Well that’s one that won’t be back processing our food for us.
As an aside, I have occasionally dabbled in somnambulism, but only moderate somnambulism.
they = then
I drive past the MOA twice a day. Eventually, I’ll have to take a big detour.......
IYKWIM...
Why do they call this moron a Mpls. man?
He’s a Somalian, not a Minnesotan!
and here i thought it was that mutt what blew hiself up at the football game...
Well, he appears to have obtained citizenship.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.com.
This is a jihad thing -— I haven’t heard of Cuban jihadis as of this time nor jihadi-related bombings in Havana.
Yes, I was thinking specifically of suicide bombers, but there have been several shooters. The one you mention, the guy in the airport, and several others. Plus the DC snipers.
I suspect there may be a lot more cases that we never hear about, too.
That’s the beauty of it. When they come, they’ll attack the blue urban areas.
