From the DEBKA File:

Sources in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area report the disappearance of dozens of young US-born Somali men since last fall. Their absence is under investigation by anti-terror authorities, concerned they have been recruited to fight with the al-Qaeda-linked Islamist al-Shabaab militia to topple the transitional federal government in Mogadishu. Some may even return home, trained to form America's first homegrown Islamist terrorist cell. The probe, triggered by a group of concerned ex-military officers, has spread to Somali communities in other parts of America and, according to sources, Canada, too.
A local newspaper reported in December of 2008 the suspicion that these young men may have returned to Somalia for jihad after Shirwa Ahmed, a naturalized US citizen, died in a suicide bombing in northern Somalia. Ahmed, 27, was a 1999 graduate of Minneapolis's Roosevelt High School.
The London Telegraph added that US law enforcement agencies are concerned the young jihadis could return to the US to plot terror attacks, following a similar path to those British Pakistanis behind the London bombings in July 2005, who made many visits to radical mosques in Pakistan. Since then, British Muslim extremists were suspected of involvement in the Mumbai terrorist outrage last November. The FBI has issued grand jury subpoenas for the teachers at the Minneapolis and St. Paul mosques to find out who the teachers of the missing men were, what they were taught, who recruited them, and who funded their travel.
