Somali Incident

Somali Incident ---  ===
Islamist Attacks Including ISIS and Al Qaeda on America and Western Allies ---

Also see:

Most Somalis today are integrating into the US society and economy, but like many ethnic groups, and number of them have fallen into trouble and the movement of Islamist inspired terrorism, and some of the innocent are victims of the not-so-innocent. Hundreds of Somalis resettled in America have been investigated, arrested and convicted of violent crimes and terrorism-related charges, and over 50 have left the U.S. to join the ranks of Islamist inspired terrorist groups such as ISIS, al-Shabab and al-Qaida. The numbers of terrorist incidents per year is very, very small but notable the same.
