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.
