U.S. Officials Say Almost A Dozen Men From Minnesota Are Fighting With ISIS In Syria
It has emerged that almost a dozen Minnesotans have left the Midwestern state to take up arms for Islamic extremist groups in the country.
The revelation follows the news that two Minnesota men were killed fighting for ISIS in Syria this past weekend. The White House confirmed that Douglas McArthur McCain, 33, who went to high school in Minneapolis, died while fighting Free Syrian Army rebels in Syria with the Islamic State.
A Minneapolis father-of-nine, Abdirahmaan Muhumed, 29, has been confirmed as the second American jihadi to die fighting for ISIS in Syria.
They are among almost a dozen Minnesotans out of the estimated 100 Americans who have joined the fighting in Syria.
The FBI’s Chief Division Counsel in Minneapolis, Kyle Loven, told ABC News that the phenomenon began in 2007, with Somali-Americans from the state traveling to Somalia.
‘In Somalia, it started as a nationalistic call… [but] we’ve now seen where some individuals perhaps are not interested or not inclined to travel to Somalia, [they] start to branch out to other hot spots around the globe, obviously Syria being among them,’ Loven told ABC.

Minnesota is where a lot of those Somalis went. They got jobs in the meat packing plants processing the FOOD you and I eat every day. Now, does that make you feel safe?

We knew at the time that letting bunches of these wild Somali muslims settle in America was a major error and they were going to be trouble. Damn Clinton and Bush for this and damn those large meatpackers for hiring these Somali bastards.
