” . . .The weekend before the historic Inauguration of President Barack Obama, U.S. Intelligence and Homeland Security officials scrambled to trace a threat made by the Al Shabab terror organization to disrupt the inauguration. A U.S. official, who spoke on the condition on anonymity, said the concern about unanswered questions related to the threat was so great that it “certainly overshadowed my entire weekend. Very senior people were very concerned.” Authorities left nothing to chance because there was strong evidence the Somalian group with ties to al-Qaida has active members in the U.S.

On that day, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke put the scramble into perspective. “The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, including the U.S. Secret Service and the intelligence community, are coordinating with other law enforcement authorities to investigate and analyze recently received information about a potential threat on Inauguration Day.”

Sources say behind the scenes, every scrap of information was studied and re-studied. Two hours before the inaugural ceremony began, Knocke said they weren’t sure exactly with what they were dealing. . .

Morning Edition, January 28, 2009 · Just hours before President Barack Obama took the oath of office, the FBI had word from overseas of a possible terrorist attack. The threat was linked to a Somali hard-line jihadist group called al-Shabab, or The Youth.

The threat came at a time when the FBI was focused on what looked like a massive recruitment effort of young men from Somali communities in the U.S. As many as two dozen of them have disappeared from Minneapolis alone in the past year.

Federal agents are worried these young men are training in Somalia and could end up returning to the U.S. to launch a terrorist attack. . .
