Missing Somali-Americans Back in U.S. After Overseas Terror Mission

Many of the Somali-American men who were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group overseas have returned to the United States, according to a source familiar with an FBI investigation into the matter — but the FBI still has not revealed publicly if it is pursuing arrests in the case.
“Some of the guys who were missing aren’t missing anymore,” the source said. “Some of them got blown up and some of them came back, and some of them are still there [in Somalia].”
For several months the FBI has been investigating at least 20 Somali-American men from the Minneapolis area who traveled to war-torn Somalia, where some of them trained and fought with an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group known as al-Shabaab, according to counterterrorism officials.
Asked to characterize how many of those men are now back on American soil, the source would only say that “several” have returned. Federal authorities believe the men went to Somalia to join al-Shabaab, which has been warring with the moderate Somali government since 2006.
Usama bin Laden weighed in Thursday on the battle. In an audiotape posted online, the Al Qaeda leader urged Somalis to fight against the Somali government, insisting, “The war which has been taking place on your soil these past years is a war between Islam and the international crusade.”

Many of these men are from the Minneapolis Metro.
“Many of the Somali-American men who were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group overseas have returned to the United States…..” Why weren’t these individuals blocked from returning to the United States? Guess we have reduced our security at the airports where these types of individuals can come and go as they please. Time is fast approaching where the American people are going to join together and take matters into their own hands to rid our country of the terrorist cells that cannot be stopped by so-called officials that do not know how to perform their own job.
Wake Up America!!!!!
