Jihad Recruiting Effort May Explain Missing Somalis in Minneapolis Area


www.foxnews.com

The missing young men have been the focus of some attention since late October, when Shirwa Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen, died in a suicide bombing in northern Somalia. Ahmed was a 1999 graduate of Minneapolis's Roosevelt High School.

Jamal said the Somali community has seen young men disappear in a number of countries across the world, including Canada, the Netherlands and Australia. Multiple sources within the Somali community have corroborated this account.

I found this story to be interesting and disturbing. According to the story the missing men come mostly from impoverished backgrounds. Some are possible gang members and others are college students with good job prospects.

Apparently the young men are vulnerable to the influence of these alleged Somali recruiters. Investigators are focusing on a leader of an Islamic Center in the Twin Cities frequented by many of the missing.

What will happen when these guys return to the US after training? They are seemingly protected by a well organized network that transports the men to Somalia for training.

Stories of sleeper agents being used to conduct terror attacks and assassinations have been around for years. If these reports of missing Somalis are accurate, these newly trained warriors may just return and assimilate back into our society. All they need is money and a phone call. Apparently, money is no object in the hands of the Somali extremists. They are the only ones who have it and they control it.

Find out who they are using our intelligence networks and then simply stop them returning to the relevant country until they have been 'screened'.

Might sound a bit draconian, but its better than finding out they've blown up a bus full of people.

Better yet stop them coming back at all.

No entry at the airport kinda thing.

Or am i hoping too much?

Its good that they have finally noticed a pattern, it goes to show how corrupt us humans really are when nobody stands up and reports it... you know somebody knows because we as humans make up... this secret cannot be kept for far to long.

I agree... kick them out and keep them out... who needs hopeless low lifes?

I imagine that these guys are traveling through Canada and possibly by sea to Western Africa ultimately. Our Canadian borders are like swiss cheese. Incidentally, Minneapolis has the largest Somali population in the US.

Why recruit in the US when Somalia is full of poor and hungry people willing to do just about anything to provide for their families?

I keep saying that if we get hit it will be from Americans, not foreigners. This economic chaos makes it even easier to recruit people who see no other way out. Gun powder for the ammo.

I don't know what race will be used. I don't even know if terrorist even have to recruit people from America to be terrorist. All I know is that due to all the I hate Bush propaganda, horrible economy, incompetent congress, losing jobs by the million, anger is at a all time high. And if anger continues to build, it won't take much more for that anger to explode. I think with Obama winning some of that anger is hinging on hope, but if they don't see results from Obama quickly, hope is down the drain. You will start to see people go off. Government is playing with our livelihood like never before.
