Somali-Canadian Held on Al Queda Ties


A Canadian man of Somali descent was accused in a federal indictment unsealed in Minnesota yesterday of conspiring to aid al Qaeda.

Mohammed Abdullah Warsame was charged with one count of conspiring to provide material to the terrorist organization from March 2000 until he was taken into custody last month.

Warsame, under investigation in New York as well as Minneapolis, told FBI agents that he attended an al Qaeda training camp at which Osama bin Laden was present during 2000 and 2001, according to court papers. Federal officials did not detail Warsame's alleged activities in supporting al Qaeda, saying the investigation is ongoing.

"I will not go into the underlying facts at all," said Minnesota's U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger, adding that "bare bones is probably a fair description" of the indictment.

Mark's Remarks


Matt, liberals hate the US, they hate it when we capture people, because it takes away their voting base of America haters. One more victory for the good guys, the goold ole US of A!
