WASHINGTON — Fourteen U.S. citizens have been charged with attempting to join al-Shabab, a Somali-based terrorist group linked to al-Qaida, law enforcement officials told NBC News.
The charges were due to be formally announced at a news conference at noon ET at the Justice Department, NBC reported.
The 14 people include 12 from Minnesota, one from Alabama and one from California, the officials said.
Al-Shabab is Somalia's most-feared militant group.
The group recently claimed responsibility for bombing two sites in Uganda where people were watching a soccer World Cup game on television, killing 76 people. Al-Shabab said the blasts were in retaliation for civilian deaths caused by African Union troops in Somali capital Mogadishu.
U.S. counter terrorism officials believe there may be as many as 50 U.S. citizens fighting with al-Shabab in Somalia, according to NBC News, with some from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and also from other cities with large Somali-American populations including Columbus, Ohio; Seattle; and Kansas City.
The law enforcement officials told NBC that there were an estimated 150 to 200 al-Shabab members with passports from friendly foreign countries who would not require visas to enter the United States.

Liberal’s blank slate equaltiy utopia taking hits.
Driving the cabs Americans just won’t drive..
Heaven forbid we consider stripping these fine Americans of their citizenship.
Muslims get a pass.
A US government serious about our security would 1) suspend the visa waiver program indefinitely and 2) strip these individuals of their American citizenship, put them on a plane for Mogadishu and bar any of them who are already out of the country from returning. Somalians were vastly better off, not to mention more secure, when their country was an Italian colony.
Well of course considering we give out citizenship like they give out suckers at a bank or doctors office. Speaking of suckers...
What's the big deal. It's not like we concern ourselves with visa expiration dates or that our borders are wide open or hold sacred the ground where 3000 died.
