“Al-Shabaab in Somalia: A Magnet for American Jihadists?”
August 5, 2010 - The Editor
SNIPPET: “Yesterday, news came that a U.S. citizen from Chicago was charged with plotting to go to Somalia to join the Islamist terror group, Al-Shabaab. Twenty-six-year old Shaker Masri was born in Alabama but did not grow up inside America. He returned to the USA when he was 18.
He was arrested on Tuesday evening hours before he was about to board a flight to California, but was intending to continue to Somalia, an FBI official stated. Masri worked for a company that translated Korans into English and distributed them for free. Shaker Masri and had been arrested after being involved in conversations over several weeks with an FBI informant who also worked at the publishing company’s warehouse, which was based in Addison, Illinois. The informant had a “wire” and these allowed their conversations to be recorded.
Masri apparently claimed that he was an admirer of Anwar al-Awlaki the American-born Yemeni terror master who had been an imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Virginia, and had advised Fort Hood killer Maj. Nidal Malik Hassan and also the underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.”

“NO LOVE LIKE THE LOVE OF A JIHADI”
SNIPPET: “Cross reference this noxious bit of poetry with what follows it, namely the intercepted phone calls between Shaker Masri - recently arrested in Chicago for trying to join al-Shabbab - and his erstwhile fiance in the UK.”
