Terrorism Charges In Minnesota, California, And Alabama

The Washington Post reports that a "number of people in Minnesota, California and Alabama are being charged with providing support for the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia, two U.S. officials said Thursday. Most of the people are U.S. citizens, with some supporting the terrorist organization from the United States and others traveling to Somalia to do so. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in the investigation which is culminating in several indictments. The charges in Minnesota are the latest development in an inquiry in that state which has been under way for some time."
