The Disappearance Of Young Male Somali-Americans Is An Issue!

There have been increasing reports that young male Somali-Americans are disappearing.What concerns folks is that these men may actually have been recruited for Jihad. Here's an excerpt from Newsweek:

"That suspicion is now shared by counterterrorism officials and the FBI, who are probing whether al-Shabab or other Somali Islamic groups are actively recruiting in a few cities across the United States. The officials say as many as 20 Somali-Americans between the ages of 17 and 27 have left their Minneapolis homes in the past 18 months under suspicious circumstances. Their investigation deepened when one of the missing men, Minnesotan Shirwa Ahmed, blew himself up alongside other suicide bombers in Somalia last October, killing dozens of al-Shabab's political opponents and civilians. Ahmed had also prayed at Abubakar, and within weeks the FBI put the imam of the mosque, Sheik Abdirahman Ahmed, on a no-fly list. Among the questions investigators are asking: Who persuaded the young men to go? Who paid for their flights? And what role, if any, has the mosque played in their alleged recruitment?"(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.newsweek.com/id/181408?tid=relatedcl
