American involved in Somali suicide attack, Islamists claim
Telegraph ^ | 30 Oct 2011 | Mike Pflanz

One of two suicide bombers who blew themselves up during an attack on peacekeepers in Somalia was an American, the country's Islamist leadership claimed on Sunday.

In a post on a Somali website popular with the al-Shabaab insurgency, Abdusalam al-Muhajir said that he left the US to fight with militants two years ago but now "wanted to die as a martyr".

He and his accomplice disguised themselves as Somali government soldiers, allowing them to get close to an African Union position before troops there became suspicious and opened fire.

The two men then detonated explosive vests they were wearing. At least two AU soldiers were wounded in the attack, on Saturday morning, although al-Shabaab claimed six were killed.

In an online video released on Sunday and recorded before he died, al-Muhajir said that he was born in Somalia but that his family fled with him to the US when he was two-years-old.

He had an American accent and used both Islamic religious terminology and US street slang as he urged Muslims to carry out attacks against what he called "unbelievers".

Yeah, so ... I'm to do one of two things;

Give all muslims in America the benefit of the doubt, or distrust all muslims in America ?

I'll take distrust for 2000, Alex.

Boy I have looked all over the net. Authorities are hiding where he came from in the US. Amazing. I wonder why?

Another honest and moderate koranimal that we have “lost” to the Father of Perdition.

These terrorists may have American citizenship; but they are not Americans. Would venture that until their Islamic flag flies over our White House; many Muslims would claim the same sentiment.

(Calling these monstrous perps first, 'American' is like calling a fifteen year old, who is a practiced killer jihadist a 'teenager'. All to say, words means things. . .)

And there is the 'gentleman' trap. . .where the horrid perp is addressed as the 'Gentleman'. . .. PC has dug deep into our language and supplanted grim realities with insane linguistics. Oh well, enough; am digressing/lol. . .
