2nd Minnesota Man Reportedly Killed Fighting For ISIS In Syria
[Fox9News] Sources tell Fox 9 News a second Minnesota family has received word that a man who left the Twin Cities has died fighting with the terror group ISIS in Syria.

At about 9 p.m. on Wednesday, leaders in the Somali-American community heard that State Department officials notified a Minneapolis family that a second American was found among the dead murderous Moslems. According to Fox 9 sources, Abdirahmaan Muhumed -- who was the focus of an MPR story just two months ago -- died in the same battle as Douglas McCain, a former Robbinsdale-Cooper High School student.

According to Abdi Bihi, a leader in the local Somali community, ISIS has recently begun trying to recruit young women from the Twin Cities to their cause as well.

"They are brainwashing them to marry them off to jihadists," he said. "They call them to help out as nurses, help out the maimed -- but the real catch is they will be sexually exploited."

While the jihadists may see fighting as a path to paradise, Bihi said the only thing young people who take that path will face is disappointment, possibly even death.

"What will not change is the pain and agony and suffering of the parents," he lamented.
