Two Rochester women charged with aiding Somali terrorists with al-Qaida ties (MN)

Two Rochester women of Somali descent are among a group of 14 Somali-Americans to be indicted for providing support to a Somali terror organization with ties to al-Qaida.

Amina Farah Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, both naturalized American citizens, have been charged with providing financial support to Al-Shabab, a group that has been fighting to establish an Islamic state in Somalia. The U.S. State Department has classified Al-Shabab as a terrorist organization.

The women were arrested by FBI agents Thursday morning, officials said.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said of the charges: "These indictments and arrests -- in Minnesota, Alabama and California -- shed further light on a deadly pipeline that has routed funding and fighters to Al-Shabab from cities across the United States."

There should be no immigration from that country or any country that practices terrorism.

My sister, who lived in Rochester, said there is a nest of Somali Muslims there who are not to be trusted.
Uncle Sap should have used a little common sense before letting the enemy set up shop here.

In this July 30, 2009 file photo, Hawo Mohamed Hassan, seated in her friend's living room, tells Minnesota Public Radio that eight FBI agents raided her Rochester, Minn. apartment on July 13, 2009. One of two indictments issued Thursday Aug. 5, 2010 in Minnesota alleges that two Somali women who were among those charged, including Hassan and others, went door-to-door in Minneapolis; Rochester, Minn., and elsewhere in the U.S. and Canada to raise funds for al-Shabab's operations in Somalia.

To get a great idea of this bitch’s mindset, listen to a conversation she had over the phone after her residence was raided by the FBI back in 2009...

“I was questioned by the enemy here... they took all my stuff and are investigating it.... Do not accept calls from anyone.”

WTF?! What is this “I was questioned by the enemy here...” crap?

Honest to god, it’s a good thing I’m not in the Department of Justice. I’d have her on a plane (or boat) back to Mogadishu ASAP!

They need to be stripped of their citizenship and sent home. Only after several hundred are dealt with like that will the rest of them think about learning to behave like civilized people.

These terrorist orgs. are dedicated to the destruction of the USA & therefore, any US citizen who aids them is committing treason, IMO. Upon conviction, they should get the death penalty & the sentence should be swiftly executed. Prior to the execution, their citizenship should be revoked.

I'll bet my ipad every one of these females has 3 or more kids, and are on the public dole.

These women, just like Hussein Obama, don't identify with, and want nothing to do with the descendants of slaves.

Minnesota is the 5th greatest state for welfare benefits, which frees up plenty of time for fund raising...

No, they’re not Americans, and they never will be....no more than I would be a Rabbit, regardless of a law passed that says I’m one!
