FBI Says Missing Youth Recruited By Terrorists

In the past year and a half, about two dozen Somali-American youth disappeared from their homes in MN.

The FBI believes the young men were radicalized and recruited here in the U.S., then sent to Somalia. There's concern they'll return to the U.S. to carry out attacks.

Guests:

Dina Temple-Raston, NPR's counter-terrorism correspondent

Abdirahman Mukhtar, manager of the youth program at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
