Twin Cities Exporting Terrorism To Somalia

Posted by: Tristan

Shirwa Ahmed, a Minneapolis resident and naturalized US citizen, is believed by the FBI and Homeland Security to have blown himself up in a suicide attack in Northern Somalia last month.  They are also investigating whether Ahmed had created a terrorist recruiting network in the Twin Cities region.

More than a dozen young men of Somali descent, mostly in their 20s, from the Minneapolis area have recently disappeared, U.S. law enforcement officials tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. All are thought to be associates of Ahmed. U.S. officials suspect most of the young men have departed for Somalia to fight in ongoing violence there or to train in terrorist camps. Family members of the young men are said to be distraught, trying to figure to out what happened to them, sources say.

So the Somalis have to worry about a bunch of Americans who might have infiltrated their society and could blow themselves up at any moment?  That’s a switch.
