Somali President say al Shabaab recruiters still in States

The President of Somalia, while visiting Minnesota, stated that it is very likely that al Shabaab recruiters are still in the US. Minnesota Public Radio

St. Paul, Minn. — The president of Somalia said today he believes that recruiters who lured Minnesota men to fight with a terrorist group remain in the United States.[...]

Ahmed arrived in the Twin Cities Friday night as part of a stateside tour of communities with sizable Somali-American populations, of which Minnesota is the largest.

In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio News, Ahmed, who is an Islamic scholar, distanced himself from radical Islamists who are trying to oust his government.

Through a translator, Ahmed expressed sympathy for the young Minnesota men who returned to Somalia to fight. Six are believed dead.
I have no sympathy for the Minnesota men who blew themselves up in Somalia.
