A U.S. citizen on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List has been charged with additional crimes involving ties to Somalia’s al-Shabaab rebel group, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday.

Jehad Serwan Mostafa, 37, a former San Diego resident, was indicted on similar charges in 2009.

Without providing specifics, the new counts accuse him of having key roles in al-Shabaab activities and providing material support from 2008 to 2017.

The FBI did say it learned this year that he is a leader in al-Shabaab’s “explosives department.”

“Today, Mostafa is believed to be the highest-ranking United States citizen fighting overseas for a terrorist organization,” said Scott Brunner, the agent in charge of the FBI office in San Diego.

The group claimed responsibility for two Sept. 30 attacks on U.S. and European military targets in Somalia, including one by an estimated 25 fighters who were killed when they tried to storm the Belidogle military airstrip, which hosts Somali and U.S. forces.

Mostafa was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and raised in San Diego, where authorities say he has relatives. He graduated from University of California, San Diego in 2005 and — according to an FBI poster offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest — joined al-Shabaab around 2006.

“Today, Mostafa is believed to be the highest-ranking United States citizen fighting overseas for a terrorist organization,” - We need to catch up as there are far more foreign citizens fighting for alien causes/orgs in the U.S.

This is a second-generation Islamic born and raised in the U.S. by ‘moderate’ muslims. We don’t think in generations like Muslims do - their hate is Eternal and sanctified by their religious beliefs. Muslims are just as fine with their grand-kids doing the actual terrorism as doing it themselves.

To that end a push should be made to enforce sustainability requirements of refugees with their sponsors. And don’t send DOD funds to Libya to end up in the sponsors’ non-profit trust fund(s), like the Clinton Foundation with Ukraine.

My wife and I have personally known Muslim Somali citizens living here. They are kind of scary until you get to know them. Then they are absolutely terrifying! These are people who should not be allowed in the country even to visit. Compared to your average south of the border illegal alien... they are like killer bees compared to honey bees.

There are NO safe muslims.

Without notice or warning ANY of them can suddenly start following the example and instructions of their prophet.

Fifteen years ago there was a popular map of terrorists cells in the US. It’s obvious the US government couldn’t care less about shutting them down and protecting the country.

Fine, this one guy may be a US citizen but there are countless numbers of his terrorist buddies here who are not.
