2 Somali Muslims charged in Minneapolis terror investigation

The Star Tribune (via Hot Air) reports that an indictment has been made in the FBI's investigation of jihadi recruits in the Twin Cities area:
The first indictments in a major counterterrorism investigation became public Monday when a Twin Cities Somali man appeared in federal court on charges of providing support to terrorists and conspiracy to “kill, kidnap, maim or injure” people in foreign countries.

A federal grand jury had indicted Salah Osman Ahmed, 26, of Brooklyn Park, and Abdifatah Yusuf Isse, of Seattle, in February, but the indictments were kept sealed until Ahmed appeared Monday afternoon before Magistrate Judge Susan Richard Nelson.

Special agent E.K. Wilson confirmed Monday that the indictments of Isse and Ahmed are connected to a major federal investigation into the disappearance of up to 20 local men of Somali descent. It is believed that the Minnesota men may have been recruited by terrorists to return to their families’ homeland to fight in the continuing civil war there. Since October, at least four have died there.
It should be noted that CAIR tried to sabotage this investigation by telling those families searching for their relatives not to talk to authorities, which led them to protest against CAIR in the city, something that's amazing. Even so, that does not mean that the Somali Muslim community is to be trusted 100 percent. There have after all been attempts to force US businesses to accommodate their would-be religion, such as the case at the Swift Plant (here's another similar case from Minnesota itself). So we can't be misled to think that even now, those Somalis who worship the Religion of Peace can be fully trusted.
