Should we be worried about somali terrorist? Jessica Sturn feels our government should. Al-shabab is the new group of terrorist trying to make a name for themselves, and has caught the attention of Americans. You probably know the name of this group from the Nairobi's Westgate mall attack where they killed more than 67 people were killed. Jessica thinks that our government needs to be more involved in the movement of Al-shabab, knowing they want to plan a bigger attack on U.S. soil. They also are building their gang through a recruiting  "jihad rap" is what they call it. Focusing on Somali-Americans that maybe have been through tramas in their life, and giving them an attitude of killing others that don’t agree with them. Should the U.S. be paying more attention to this group? yes, if they are going as far as recruiting young men from our country to follow them in hurting others, why shouldn’t that be enough. Jessica has evidence from former members of the group, one being Mohamed who was recruited and taken for gun training in an old italian graveyard, but later quit the organization. Mohamed had symptomes of trama and after he left, moved to canada but was unable to get a high paying job so he blames "the system". Jessica knows if we don't take this group seriously, like al-queida they will take it upon themselves to pull off a devastating attack. Osama, 9/11, and other attacks should be enough to know the seriousness of these foreign terrorist. They want to be known and feared so taking lives will not be a problem for them as they already demonstrated in the Westgate attack. Sturn knows what can happen, why doesn't the government?
