You may remember that there was already at least one American convicted of helping the African Taliban in their jihad. Daniel Joseph Maldonado, aka Daniel Aljughaifi, was convicted of training to commit acts of terrorism overseas. He now denies that he was in Somalia helping the African Courts Union set up an Islamic state and that he only copped a plea to reduce a potential terrorism conviction. But witnesses in Somalia not only place him as an active ICU fighter, but also receiving training from al Qaeda operatives.
It is also known that Madonado has a number of supporters and sympathizers in the U.S., some of whom have vowed to continue the jihad in Somalia.
In addition to Maldonado, one of the heads of the African Taliban is an American. Ibrahim Hassan Addou is an American citizen and the ICU's "Foreign Minister".
