2023-12-10 | |
Authorities in Costa Rica have arrested a Somali linked to the radical Islamist organization Al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... in the southern part of the country. The Ministry of Public Security (Interior) identified the Somali as Ali Abdinuur Ahmed and said the suspect was in the access area of the Temporary Care Center for Migrant Persons (CATEM) in the southern area of Costa Rica, about 10 km from the border with Panama. Buses full of ![]() ns, who come from Panama after having crossed the Darien jungle on the border of that country with Colombia, on their way to the United States, arrive at that place daily. When required by the immigration authorities of the center, it was discovered that he had an international search alert from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) of the United States, said Security Minister Mario Zamora in a video sent to the press. "This person is wanted internationally for his possible participation in terrorist groups," said Zamora. Abdinuur was transferred to San José and "will be subjected to a deportation process" upon finding himself irregularly in Costa Rica, the minister added.
