Suicide Bomber Network Recruiting in Twin Cities?
2008-11-26
Federal law enforcement sources believe that a Twin Cities man blew himself up in a suicide bombing in Northern Somalia last month. The FBI and Homeland Security are investigating whether Shirwa Ahmed has developed a terrorist recruiting network in the area.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS learned that Ahmed came to the Twin Cities in 1996 and graduated from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen.

More than a dozen 20 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.

#8  This is going to be a huge problem in the future, count on it. These assholes are going to bitch and moan, try and force their barbaric customs on our country. Then some of them are going to get violent. They are going to do some very terrible things that will likely kill a lot of our countrymen, in the name of allen. Then they will feel our wrath (I hope).

But I have no idea why we've let so many of these bums come here either. Nice job INS.

#7  Why we allowed 25% of all immigrants (20004-2005)
to settle in the USA from an Al-Qaeda strong-hold (Somalia)is beyond me. This question was posed to US Gov officials, citing an assured future burden on local Law Enforcement/DHS/FBI due to their adherence to Wahabbi Islam and lack of assimilation, and the informal answer, "We're a country of immigrants". OK, now I feel better.

#6  Can't frickin' believe we let these people into the country in the first place. Nothin' but trouble.

#5  Another potential hotbed is the Twin Cities of Lewiston-Auburn in Maine, of all places. Maine, the welfare capital of the United States, has been identified by Somali leaders as a great place to get unlimited freebies, forever. Lewiston has an estimated 7,000 of them standing around, collecting bennies. The money flies out of here fast, extracted from the unwitting Democrats, headed back to the mother country.

#2  I said it time and time again during the 'No Hams in Cabs' debacle that the TC Skinnies were going to be trouble. I was racist of course and this guy blowing himself up doesn't prove there were any radicals in 'The Community'.

Believe it or not, the biggest potential civil unrest problem isn't L.A. or illegal immigrants in the southwest, it's the upper midwest. The longterm trend in Michigan and Minnesota is going to put a lot of pressure on Wisconsin to join in the welcoming party. If the radicals get their nose in the tent there as well, I predict the upper midwest being where our unrepairable civil problems will begin. The enemy isn't just a bunch of hajis 'over there'

Americas future doesn't depend on voting patterns in some state in the electoral map. The real battleground state is Wisconsin.

#1  Or more likely Somali pirates are hiring english speakers to deal with captured crews, monitor radio transmissions and handle negotiations.
