Feds Widen Somali Indictments
November 23, 2009 Immigration
Fox reports,
Federal authorities are expected to announce charges against eight more people today in a long-running investigation into how perhaps dozens of young men from the Minneapolis area were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia.
[...]
Beginning in late 2007 and continuing through last year, more than 20 young Americans of Somali descent were persuaded to train and fight with al-Shabaab, which is fighting to establish a Muslim state in Somalia and recently pledged its allegiance to Usama bin Laden.
As always, I would remind my readers that the vast majority of Somalis in Somalia have not plotted against the U.S. while on our soil.
Let’s keep it that way.

Where’s the commentary from the other people scolding you for your last post on Somalis in the US?
Oh, right, right. Who cares if they fight for Al-Qaeda overseas?
