Somalis living in neighboring Kenya are bracing for the worst after the massacre at Garissa University carried out by al-Shabab. One Somali Kenyan says that while nothing has happened yet, history suggests that Somalis will be targeted by police and Kenyan citizens alike.
Extremists behind the siege at a university in Kenya boast a “pioneering” media strategy that has paved the way for other media-savvy terrorists like ISIS. But it’s still a chilling experience to get a call from al-Shabad amid a terror attack.
This Somali American was devastated when his teenage nephew traveled from Minneapolis to Mogadishu to join the extremists of al-Shabab. Now ISIS seems to be using the same recruiting networks to lure American teens to Syria and Iraq.
