“Somalis, FBI in other U.S. cities on alert for terrorist recruiting”

“While Minneapolis is the core of an investigation, leaders elsewhere want to keep youth from being drawn to violence.”

COLUMBUS, OHIO -

SNIPPET: “”No one has disappeared,” said Ahmed Hosh, who works with Somali youths in Columbus. “But if those who did the recruiting were individuals talking to someone alone, the scary thing is it could happen here.”

The Twin Cities area has been at the center of the federal investigation ever since a 27-year-old from Minneapolis blew himself up in a suicide attack in Somalia last fall. But other cities with large Somali populations are being scrutinized, too: Boston, Seattle, San Diego and Columbus, which has the second-largest population of Somali refugees in the United States behind Minneapolis — an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people.”

Lefties in the Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal church were instrumental in bringing in these muslims.

Yoo hoo!

Hey, Janet Nappy, over here!

Try St. Cloud, Minnesota, for starters.

Hint: Minnesota is the only state that went against Reagan in his 49-state landslide. Sure we're GOP.

Cheers!

After that DHS memo, it doesn’t sound as if the Feds are too concerned with Somalis.

Still trying to figure out why Somalis thought Minnesota was a good place to gather. Or Ohio for that matter..

This ungrateful trash should be deported right back to where they came from at the first sign of trouble making.

What gave them the first clue? It doesn’t take a Sherlock to know who the dangerous people are.

These terrorists must have been at the Tea parties last week... because that is where the FBI focused on...
