House Homeland Security Committee Holds Hearing On Al Shabaab's Activities In US

Largely lost in last week's focus on Congress' debt ceiling debate was the hearing held on last Wednesday by Peter King's House Homeland Security Committee on Al Shabaab: Recruitment and Radicalization within the Muslim American Community and the Threat to the Homeland. (Links to full texts of hearing testimony.)  In opening the hearing, Rep. King said:

At this hearing, the third in a series, we will examine Somalia-based terrorist organization al Shabaab’s ongoing recruitment, radicalization, and training of young Muslim-Americans and al Shabaab’s linking up with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

In connection with the hearing, King released and investigative report (full text) on al Shabaab.
