Federal agents in Minneapolis have arrested a 20-year-old man of Somali origin who they say was the “emir” – or leader – of Islamic State recruiting efforts in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.
Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame of Eagan, Minnesota appeared in the US District Court in Minneapolis on Thursday morning, to answer the charges of supplying material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He was arrested without incident on Wednesday evening, the FBI said.
The criminal complaint against Warsame, signed by FBI Special Agent Vadim Vinetsky, says that a group of at least ten young Somalis from Minnesota began conspiring to join Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the spring of 2014. One member of the group, 18-year-old Abdi Nir, actually managed to get to Syria in May 2014, while nine others have been arrested by the FBI.

DEPORT ALL MUSLIMS!! Secure our Borders please. That is the best way to put people to work and stimulate our economy. "Shovel Ready Jobs"
A very sad day today for a Muslim friend of mine.
After seven years of medical training and hard work, my friend has been fired after one minor indiscretion. He slept with one of his patients and can now no longer work in the profession. What a waste of time, effort, training and money.
He was a good veterinarian.
The Obama legacy.
