Somalia suicide bomber may be from Seattle
The Seattle Times ^ | Sept. 23, 2009 | Mike Carter

Federal investigators are looking into reports that one of the men who detonated a truck bomb in Mogadishu last week that killed 21 peacekeepers was a Somali refugee who had lived in Seattle as recently as 2007.

Two federal law enforcement sources, both speaking on condition of anonymity, said the FBI in Seattle received information last week that indicated that one of the suicide bombers was from Seattle. "We've been looking into it ever since," said one of the sources.

One of the sources, a senior federal law enforcement official, said the FBI is actively investigating whether terrorist groups are recruiting in Seattle's Somali community, one of the largest in the country.

On Tuesday, the radical Islamic Web site www.Dayniile.com reported that at least one of the bombers was a Somali-American who left the United States two years ago, according to a CNN report.

The FBI has already acknowledged that as many as 20 young men have disappeared from the Somali community in Minneapolis over the past two years, many believed to be recruited by people affiliated with the Islamic terrorist group, Al-Shabaab.

Yet Obama and the democrat controlled congress would have us give up our guns. It will be a cold day in hell.

Anybody else remember those suspicious acting middle-easterners photographed on a Washington ferry a few years back that we never heard anything about?

Medved has debated a “friendly” Muslim from Seattle several times. The guy makes me sick.

So does Medved. But I’m a birther.

I was at a mall in Kent county a few days ago and I was shocked to see so many Somalis there.
