Are Somali-Americans sneaking back to become pirates?

Gates of Vienna does a nice job of asking the questions, with some source material:

The Missing: Somali Men Off Twin Cities Streets, Back in Somalia

Somali community fears young men leaving to fight holy war

MINNEAPOLIS — Young Somali men are vanishing off the streets of the Twin Cities. More than 20 have left in the last few months, and the community fears they’ve gone back to Somalia to fight in a holy war.

They’re known in the Somali community simply as The Missing. More than 20 young Somali men, between the ages of 17 and 22, who have left the Twin Cities in the last few months, without a single word to their families.

The families and community leaders believe the men have gone back to fight in a bloody civil war, in which Al Qaeda is a major player.

With tongue in cheek the author at the end commends the Horn of Africa for drawing some gang members out of the US. But this is much more serious, if ethnic groups who risked their lives to come to the US leave to go fight jihad and eventually attack US interests.
