[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] A Virginia man who fled the country in 2012 and was suspected of trying to recruit men to join the terrorist group al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... was indicted in a federal court on a charge of conspiring to provide material support to the terrorist group based in Somalia, prosecutors said. Liban Haji Mohammed
He first came to the FBI's attention in 2010 with the arrest of Zachary Adam Chesser, at the time a 20-year-old Virginian who became enthralled with krazed killer Islamist views as a young man and ultimately was convicted of terror-related charges associated with al-Shabaab. The FBI has said Chesser and Mr Mohammed were close associates. Mr Mohammed left the US in July 2012, and the FBI subsequently placed him on its Most Wanted Terrorists list. In 2015, it was reported that Mr Mohammed was in jug in Somalia, but the US does not have an extradition treaty in Somalia. Authorities did not immediately comment on whether Mr Mohammed had been released from Somali custody. The US attorney's office in Alexandria said Tuesday's indictment accuses Mr Mohammed of attempting to recruit an undercover agent to travel to Somalia to provide combat training to al-Shabaab fighters. Mr Mohammed also allegedly planned to use his media skills to improve al-Shabaab's propaganda machine, which it has used to recruit Westerners, the prosecutors said.

#2 So, send the FBI to apprehend him, locally. Transport to the states and house him in secure facilities. Long running trial hearings before the trial. Million$. How about $10k for some Merc to snuff him at home as a lesson to the locals? |

#1 Cab diver is a classic Somali crime family preference. Scouting possible robbery and fraud targets, getting security and police patterns, and the always lucrative drug and prostitution offerings. Somali’s are clan based multi generational crime syndicates. |
