Somali Terror Suspect Nabbed in Canada

This guy somehow was able to slip onto a flight from Paris destined for Mexico and likely would have been able to stroll on into the United States since our government has little interest in sealing the border.

Details emerged Monday about a passenger who was removed from an Aeromexico flight from Paris to Mexico City on Sunday afternoon, including his alleged links to Al Qaeda, NBC reported.

The man, who was thought to be headed to the United States via Mexico, was removed from the flight when it was diverted to Montreal, Canada.

CBC, Canada’s national broadcaster, reported that the man’s name is Abdirahman Ali Gaall.

NBC reported that Gaall is a Somali national but holds U.S. residency. His wife is an American citizen.

Senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC that Homeland Security had asked law enforcement in Houston to be on the lookout for the man -- a suspected member of al Shabaab, an Al Qaeda ally based in Somalia, early last week.

He was the subject of a terror warning issued for the U.S.-Mexico border and as such was included on the U.S. no-fly list.

He is due to face an immigration court in Canada on Wednesday.

He'll probably wind up claiming he'll be unfairly persecuted in the U.S. and some Canadian judge will let him walk free. Maybe he can become an "activist" with Free Gaza.
