Threat of U.S. Attack by Somali Group Is Concern, King Says

The threat of an attack in the U.S. by the Somali Islamic group al-Shabaab is a “real cause for concern” as it strengthens ties with al-Qaeda, said Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

“They carry out their training together, they supply each other and they’ve made it clear that they are now linked up,” the New York Republican said in an interview before his committee’s third hearing on Muslim radicalization today.
