Washington, Sept 10 (ANI): A decade after the 9/11 terror attacks, the White House believes that home-grown terrorism is one of the greatest threats to the US.
According to Sky News, the biggest domestic terrorism investigation since 2001 has focused on the northern city of Minneapolis. It is estimated that up to 40 young men from the Somali community in Minneapolis have been radicalised and recruited to join the al Qaeda affiliate al Shabaab in Somalia.
Reports also suggest that America faces the threat of an attack within its borders from young radicals carrying American passports.
The uncle of one of the young men recruited by al Shabaab, said: “Al Qaeda is always very creative. They were creative on 9/11 and they are creative in going into our community.
“By recruiting young refugees and taking them back to Somalia and training them with that mindset and sending them back here without anyone knowing it, it’s feasible they can attack Alaska, Washington, New York and London anywhere they want,” he added.
His warning was repeated by a senior official at the Somali mission to the United Nations.
“If a young man with an American passport is able to go to Somalia and blow himself up, we haven’t seen anything that would prevent that person coming back and blowing himself up here,” he added. (ANI)
