U.S./Somalia: BBC Reports on FBI Terrorism Probe in
Minnesota - "Biggest Plot Since 9/11"

-- BBC Minnesota: "FBI probe biggest plot since 9/11"
-- BBC reports on FBI terrorism probe of Somali immigrants and
American citizens in Minnesota
-- "Newsbeat has been given exclusive access
to one of the biggest anti-terrorist operations in America since the 9/11
attacks."
-- "The FBI is worried a group linked to al-Qaeda is training up
a new generation of terrorists.
-- "They're thought to be targeting young
Somali immigrants, radicalising them to carry out attacks on their home
country and possibly the US in the future."
-- "The US believes al-Shabaab
has ties to al-Qaeda."
-- "The FBI were reluctant to spell out the threat,
but they do believe something sinister is happening in the local Somali
community. They're calling it their biggest terror investigation since 9/11.
"
-- "They're not just concerned about those who may be travelling from
America to Somalia either."
-- "They're also worried about who may come
back, war hardened and perhaps prepared to plot attacks on American
soil."
-- "Agents won't say if mosques or religious leaders are involved
but they do think victims are being radicalised in America before being
trained as fighters in Somalia."
-- 18 year old tells BBC: "I just hope the
government know what they're doing here and they don't mess with the wrong
people."
