MINNEAPOLIS - An American-born Muslim radical, Imam Anwar Al Awlaki may be a man who connects the dots. On his web site Monday, he praised major Nidal Hasan as a hero for the killings at Fort Hood. The FBI confirms the Imam and Major had even exchanged emails.

Imam Anwar also knew three of the 9-11 hijackers.

With his videos on the internet, Imam Anwar's influence is reaching the Twin Cities too. Somali community activist Omar Jamal says those videos, calling for a global jihad against the west, motivated several of the missing Minnesota men to travel back to Somalia to fight for the Al Qaeda linked militant group Al Shabab.

Sources in the Somali community told FOX 9 Imam Anwar was in the Twin Cities several years ago. He allegedly spoke at a mosque here in the Cedar Riverside area, which was torn down a couple of years ago.

Back in 2001, Awlaki was the imam of the Virginia mosque, where Major Hasan attended. Since 2004, Awlaki has been living in exile in Yemen, spreading the word through videos and his English language web site.

Does this not make this the worst act of terrorism in the US since 9/11?

I think a Marine Corps Fatwa on Imam Anwar Al Awlaki is in order..

I think the west needs to start monitoring these mosques. There should be 24/7 taping and surveillance of everything that goes on in these unholy places.

Yeah, except the assassin was given his current post AFTER they were aware of his association...so who issues the Fatwah...sure won’t come from command...

Yes it does - but the Obozo admin will probably just give Hasan a medal and place the blame for his actions on the Bush admin.

Imam Anwar also knew three of the 9-11 hijackers.

This is why certain people should be vetted a bit more before the Army lets them in and stay under continuous scrutiny.

But i still think this is a coverup of something more sinister involving Obama because it's just too easy to paint Hasan as part of the cell or cells that came out of the same Mosque as the 9/11 hijackers. But, if, say Obama were behind this, he'd want it to look like that wouldn't he?

I would not be surprised if an elderly WWII, Korea, Nam vet or two might be very irritated at Hussy Junior

Very irritated
