How sad that some promising young men have been killed supporting or formerly supporting radicalized Islam overseas. Guess that they were asleep in American High School, Community Colllege, and did not believe America had very much to offer....

Bana would be the third known American to die alongside al-Shabaab.
Bihi’s nephew, 17-year-old Burhan Hassan, was killed in Somalia last month. He was a senior at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis when he left for Somalia with Bana in early November last year.
It's unclear exactly how Hassan died. Law enforcement officials said Hassan was likely killed by artillery fire or a stray bullet. But his family has accused al-Shabaab of murdering him.
Bihi suggested that Bana was also killed by al-Shabaab, after being “brainwashed” to join them.
In October 2008, 27-year-old college student Shirwa Ahmed of Minneapolis became "the first known American suicide bomber" when he blew himself up in Somalia, killing dozens, according to the FBI.Peaceful in a pigs eye... alla akBARF :(
