"Law Enforcement Fears Shabaab Infiltration"

"Burhan Hassan was lured from his Minneapolis home in November 2008 to fight a jihad in his native Somalia. After finding reality did not measure up to his handler's promises, he decided to try to make his way back home.

He was shot and killed a year ago - on June 4, 2009 - before he could escape. Relatives believe he was betrayed by the very people who persuaded him to join Al-Shabaab, a Somali terrorist group affiliated with Al Qaeda.

Now, law enforcement officials appear increasingly concerned Al-Shabaab members are trying to come back to America. But these members aren't disenchanted young men like Hassan, seeking to escape the terrorists' hold. Rather, the concern is that they are returning either to recruit more members or perhaps to plot attacks here."
