A young Somali man from the Twin Cities pleaded guilty this afternoon in U.S. District Court to lying to federal agents investigating the recruitment of up to 20 Somali Americans over the past two years to fight with a known terrorist group in their war-torn homeland.
Kamal Said Hassan, 24, left Minneapolis for Somalia to train and fight with al-Shabaab, a Somali Islamist group that has been identified by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization with ties to al-Qaida.
Hassan returned to the U.S. last winter, apparently after having a change of heart about the mission, several Somali community sources told the Star Tribune in March.
Hassan is the third Somali American to plead guilty to charges stemming from the federal investigation. Two other men -- Abdifatah Isse, of Seattle, and Salah Ahmed, of the Twin Cities -- have pleaded guilty in recent months to providing material support to terror groups after returning to Somali and training with al-Shabaab.
