American Teen 17-year-old Burhan Hassan killed in Somalia,Group Linked to Al Qaeda May Have Killed Minnesota Man Recruited in Somalia,

MINNEAPOLIS – A Somali teenager from Minnesota who went missing in his homeland back in October is dead. Tom Lyden of Fox 9 News has spoken with the boy’s uncle and confirmed that 17-year-old Burhan Hassan has apparently been killed.
The family of the former Roosevelt High School student got a phone call from Mogadishu, from people identifying themselves as Al Shabab, an Islamic militant jihad group operating out of Somalia. Details on the death are still sketchy, but Hassan’s family says their understanding is it wasn’t a suicide bombing. Instead, the teenager was apparently shot in the head assassination-style. They also say Hassan has been sick for some time, and hasn’t been getting the medical attention he needs.
Hassan, who attended the Abubakar mosque, is one of 20 BOYS Minnesota Somalis who traveled in secret back to their homeland. Another Minnesota man, Shirwa Ahmed, became a suicide bomber in Somalia back in October. The F.B.I. is investigating to find out may be recruiting the men locally.
