Federal prosecutors said Friday that a man who pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges in the exodus of Somali men from this country back to their homeland should be kept imprisoned until he is sentenced.
The government also said in the motion that it had no idea when the man, Abdifatah Yusuf Isse, will be sentenced, but said it would be "as soon as possible but in a manner consistent with the needs of the investigation."

They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate.
