Grand jury to hear Somali testimony

Some Twin Cities Somalis have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury as authorities continue to investigate whether some young Somali-American men were radicalized here and recruited to fight with terror groups in their homeland.
Federal authorities won't confirm the grand jury investigation, but the subpoenas — as well as questions by FBI agents and customs officials — have unnerved some in the community. Local Somalis have felt vulnerable since officials began looking into why these young men left and why one carried out a suicide bombing in Somalia last fall.
The 23 members of a grand jury determine whether there is probable cause to charge someone with a federal felony offense. An investigation can take months, and the proceedings are secret.
