Update: Jihad Watch has more, here.
It annoys the heck out of me to even see this article today. This has been going on for two years. We first started writing about the former Somali refugees—the next generation no less—who are not assimilating but instead recruiting and sending terror trainees and money back to Africa as early as 2008 (here.) What have our Homeland Security officials been doing for two years (or more!)?
This is the story today at Fox News:
Marking the latest in a growing number of terrorism cases involving an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, several Somali-Americans have been arrested in at least two U.S. cities for allegedly supporting and in some cases fund-raising for the group. Many others, believed to be overseas, were also charged.
In addition, federal authorities unsealed a years-old indictment against one the group’s most prominent figures, Alabama-born Omar Hamammi, who has become a star of propaganda and recruitment videos produced by Al Shabab.
In the United States, arrests were made overnight near Minneapolis and Los Angeles. Two of those arrested were Amina Farah Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan of Rochester, Minn., naturalized U.S. citizens now indicted by a grand jury on charges of providing material support to a terrorist group.
Prosecutors allege they raised funds “by soliciting door-to-door” in Minnesota’s Somali communities, telling potential donors that “the funds were for the poor and needy.” Some of that money, prosecutors say, would then be funneled to the group Al Shabab, which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
In an indictment unsealed Thursday morning, prosecutors also allege that seven others, including unidentified individuals in Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, helped Ali and Hallan “collect and forward funds to Al Shabab.” Some of the alleged aides appear to be in Somalia, including one individual described as “the al-Shabab administrative governor” in parts of the war-torn country.
For more than two years, the FBI has been investigating how dozens of Americans from Minneapolis and elswhere were recruited to train and fight alongside the Somalia-based group, known as Al Shabab. Most recently, Al Shabab claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks in Uganda and pledged its allegiance to Usama bin Laden.
Federal authorities have long worried that Al Shabab could try to launch attacks inside the United States.
NEVER! NEVER A WORD ABOUT HOW THE SOMALIS GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! They mostly came through the Refugee Resettlement Program of the United States Department of State. This very year, as of July 31st, we have brought in 3,507 additional Somali refugees, see here ,*** to live in your town. That figure does not include those illegal Somalis coming across our borders at this very minute.
And then most readers dismiss stories like this one because they can’t see how it will affect them if a bunch of Somalis who we fed, clothed, sent to school and probably even fixed their teeth go off to Africa and blow themselves up.
Khadra’s warning!
Here is the problem that will affect us all if we don’t put a stop to this! Khadra, a Somali who apparently does care for the life we have given her, warns of the settlement that is Somali immigration. She says they are here to take over! To out breed us! To push Sharia law in tiny increments until we submit to Islamic domination. The mosque at Ground Zero is also part of the Islamic settlement of North America. It is called the Stealth Jihad!
For New Readers:
For information on Somali missing youths, American citizens who have gone to Somalia to learn the Jihad trade, some leaving through Mexico, use those search words. We have written dozens of stories on the case. For more on Al-shabaab (sometimes spelled Al-shabab) also use our search function.
The US State Department has admitted over 80,000 Somali refugees to the US (this linked post continues to be one of the most widely read posts we have ever written) in the last 25 years and then in 2008 had to suspend family reunification because widespread immigration fraud was revealed through DNA testing. That specific program has not yet been reopened (that we know of), but will be soon (notice almost another year has passed and I don’t believe they have figured out yet how to keep the fraud out of family reunification.)
*** Judging by the overall numbers it looks like the Obama Administration, during the great recession, is on target to bring the largest number of refugees to the US since 9/11.
