Al-Shabab Recruiting Swedes - Updated

From a related report.

Sweden’s security police, Säpo, revealed several months ago that around 10 people from Sweden were believed to be at terrorist training camps in Somalia, or were otherwise involved in terrorism in the war-torn African country.

‘A handful’ of Swedish passport holders had also been found dead following battles in the country.

Most of the Swedes involved in Somali terrorist activities are believed to have been members of al-Shabab, an organization with links to al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. A recruitment film called ‘At your Service, Osama,’ was released in Kenya last year and showed images from battles in Mogadishu.

Passports on the battlefield. Heh.

Al-Shabab Recruiting Swedes
[Previous 5/19/10 post]
(Gothenburg, Sweden) A warning was recently issued by the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) that al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab had recruited more than 20 young people from the Gothenburg area to fight in Somalia.

One might be led to believe that a number of blue-eyed, blond terrorists are now calling the Horn of Africa home if it were not for the fact that liberal, some might say progressive, immigration policies throughout Scandinavia, and Europe, have allowed communities of Muslims who resist assimilation to become entrenched.

I would suggest that all of the subject al-Shabab recruits for Somalia came from immigrant Muslim enclaves in Sweden. Nevertheless, if a blue-eyed blond Swede is implicated in a terrorist incident in Somalia or anywhere else, it would be worth noting.
