'Several' Missing Somali-Americans Back in U.S. After Overseas Terror Mission

"Some of the guys who were missing aren't missing anymore...Some of them got blown up and some of them came back, and some of them are still there [in Somalia]."

Case closed. Nothing to worry about anymore. Fox News

Many of the Somali-American men who were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group overseas have returned to the United States, according to a source familiar with an FBI investigation into the matter — but the FBI still has not revealed publicly if it is pursuing arrests in the case.

"Some of the guys who were missing aren't missing anymore," the source said. "Some of them got blown up and some of them came back, and some of them are still there [in Somalia]."[...]

Asked to characterize how many of those men are now back on American soil, the source would only say that "several" have returned. Federal authorities believe the men went to Somalia to join al-Shabaab, which has been warring with the moderate Somali government since 2006.
