Minniapolis Somalis Fighiting as Terrorists Just Captured

This Article claims that Salafi American Residents of Somalian origin were used for six suicide bombings in Hargesia, Somalia in October, 2008, and that 11 more were just arrested in Somaliland after having been trained by the Shabaab for firing anti-aircraft missils.

Further, they calim that An American Salfi group has weekly conference calls with al Shabaab in Somalia. al Shabbab has been designed by the US as terrorist group.

It is my best guess that the group of which they speak is in the Minniapolis - St Paul, area. at least 40 Somali youths have disappeared in the last few months, according to a Minniapolis Newspaper report, after interviewing Police Street Gang unit officers.

Dozens of young Somali men in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area have disappeared in recent months, causing community members and U.S. intelligence officials to fear that they are joining jihadist groups in Somalia.

Officials are especially concerned that some of the men may be destined to return to the U.S. after they have received terrorist training.

  • 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.
  • The Twin Cities media have reported that a number of other young Somali men — estimates range from six to 40 — have disappeared from the area.
  • Multiple sources within the local Somali community and U.S. government fear that these men may have returned to Somalia to train, or to participate in jihad against the country’s secular transitional federal government (TFG).
  • The TFG has lost ground to Islamist insurgents since early 2007; its primary protection comes from Ethiopian forces that intervened in Somalia in late 2006.
  • “I’ve come across 10 to 15 mothers crying because their sons are missing,” said Omar Jamal, executive director of the Minneapolis-based Somali Justice Advocacy Center.

A senior U.S. military intelligence analyst said the number may be even higher, since not all of the families whose sons have gone abroad will report it.

  • 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.
  • Dahir Jibreel, who previously served as the TFG’s permanent secretary in charge of international cooperation, said, “Other young Somalis went missing in Europe, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.”
  • Jibreel said many of the disappearances occurred simultaneously.
  • The Somali men who have vanished in Minneapolis are diverse in their education level and job prospects.
  • Some were reportedly linked to Somali gangs, while others have been described as intelligent and studious. Some attended college and appeared to have good job prospects.
  • There is little evidence that these men were radicalized when they entered the U.S.
    Abdiweli Ali, an associate professor of economics at Niagara University and a former adviser to the TFG, said young Somalis are being targeted for indoctrination.
  • “There’s a huge underclass,” he said, “and the kids get involved in gangs and drugs. So every time a kid goes to hang out in the mosque, the parents see that as good. They encourage their kids to go to after-school programs with religion, to youth groups at the mosque.”

The youths are susceptible to “brainwashing,” Ali said. “They are very young, susceptible to any kind of indoctrination. All you need is one rogue imam who tells them the wrong things, and they are susceptible to that.”


A senior American intelligence source confirms that Somalis have vanished in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, adding that some people from the Caribbean also appear to have left for Somalia. And not all of the people bound for training or jihad in Somalia have a Somali background, the source said.

  • A man who appears to be Caucasian and is aligned with the Somalia-based terrorist group Shabaab can be seen in a recent jihadist video, and another gave an interview with al-Jazeera (though he wore a facemask when doing so).
  • The source said that at least three African-Americans from the Minneapolis area also are suspected of traveling to Somalia to join jihadist groups.

While Somalis in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area have been puzzled by the simultaneous disappearances in multiple countries, the intelligence source says it can be explained by the reopening of certain training facilities in Somalia, such as those in Ras Kamboni. “School is open for business, so the demand has gone up,” he said.

The intelligence source said there is a transportation network in place to move fighters to Somalia,

  • including Ruben Luis Shumpert (a Seattle-area barber who was killed this year while fighting for the Shabaab)
  • Daniel Joseph Maldonado (a U.S. citizen who was arrested in 2007 for undergoing terrorist training).
  • The network apparently has provided forged passports on some occasions, he said.
  • It is not clear is who is funding the expensive cost of traveling to Somalia.

Virtually all of the Somalis who have disappeared in Minneapolis are from impoverished backgrounds.

The size of the recruiting network in the U.S. isn’t known, and estimates vary widely. But a major concern is what will happen when these young men return to the U.S. after having undergone terrorist training or participated in combat.

Can this be Real Sharia?

When a rape victim, who attempts to tell the Sharia authorities what happened, is stoned byt the very Sharia court she hoped would protect her.

Is this real Sharia? I look forward to your reposnse.

A 13-year-old rape victim in Somalia was stoned to death last week after being accused of adultery in breach of Islamic law, Amnesty International said, citing her father and other unidentified people.

Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was killed by a group of 50 men in a stadium in the southern port of Kismayo on Oct. 27 in front of 1,000 spectators, the London-based human rights group said in an e-mailed statement on Oct. 31.

Yusuf Abdi Mohamed, who witnessed the execution, told Bloomberg News on Oct. 28 that Duhulow was a 23-year-old woman who had confessed to adultery.

"She had in fact been raped by three men and had attempted to report this rape to the al-Shabaab militia, which controls Kismayo,'' Amnesty said. `

"It was this act that resulted in her being accused of adultery and detained. None of the men she accused of rape was arrested.''

  • Somalia is in its 18th year of civil war and hasn't had a functioning central administration since the ouster of former dictator Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991.
  • Violence has escalated since Ethiopian troops helped Somalia's United Nations-backed government oust the Islamic Courts Union militia from southern and central parts of the country in January 2007.
  • Last week's stoning was the first such execution in Kismayo since the Islamist al-Shabaab movement captured the city in August and established Shariah courts.
  • Shariah law operates under a code of Islamic principles first established in the Arab world by the prophet Muhammad in the seventh century.
  • Amnesty said that some of the Somali journalists who earlier reported Duhulow was 23 had said this age was an estimate based on her physical appearance.
  • Sheikh Hayakalah, the Sharia court judge, said in remarks broadcast on Radio Shabelle, a Mogadishu-based broadcaster, that Duhulow had officially confirmed her guilt and was ``happy with the punishment under Islamic law.''
  • ``In contradiction to this claim, a number of eyewitnesses have told Amnesty International she struggled with her captors and had to be forcibly carried into the stadium,'' Amnesty said.
  • The organization said al-Shabaab has created a climate of ``extreme fear'' within the areas the militia controls in Somalia.
