“From teens to terrorists: How Al-Shabab recruits Western ‘martyrs’”
Stewart Bell, National Post · Thursday, Jul. 1, 2010
SNIPPET: “A top-secret government report obtained by the National Post says Al-Shabab, which emerged from the heavily armed chaos of Somalia in 2006, is using a variety of methods to entice Canadian youths to its camps. Islamist extremists are radicalizing and recruiting Somali-Canadian youths within Canada to travel to Somalia for jihad training, says the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre report, titled Al-Shababs Recruitment of Youths from Canada.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said five Somali-Canadians who left Toronto between September and November 2009 could receive weapons and related training in Somalia and potentially engage in Al-Shabab-related violent activities, spokeswoman Isabelle Scott said.
A sixth such Somali-Canadian is presumed dead.
Police in the United States and Europe are conducting similar investigations.”
