That is the title of the Minneapolis Star Tribune investigation into the life of Shirwa Ahmed, the US’s first (that we know of!) American-citizen suicide bomber. Ahmed had been one of the Somali missing young men before it was learned that he was no longer missing, but bits of him had been identified in Somalia at the site of a suicide bombing—Ahmed was identified as the bomber.

We first told you about the FBI returning his tiny remains to Minneapolis in December here.
