In the USA, more than a dozen Somali-American families in the midwest have reported their sons missing, fearing they may have fled to join al-Qaeda-linked groups in Somaliland / East Africa.
Members of the 70,000 Somali community in the state fear local imams are indoctrinating young men to join Islamist radicals (the al-Qaeda linked al-Shabaab) fighting the western-backed transitional government in Mogadishu, Somalia.
