A controversial Minnesota congresswoman known for racially inflammatory anti-Semitic views has publicly declared her support for a terrorist organization in her native Somalia.
Democrat Ilhan Omar is demanding that a telecommunications company founded and operated by a renowned terrorist financier, receive protection from that country's government and peacekeeping forces.
The company, Hormuud Telecommunications, was created and is operated by Ahmed Nur Ali Jim'ale, a chief financier of al-Shabaab, an east African-based jihadist group that serves as Al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia.
In her social media account, Omar writes that Somalia's government and peacekeeping forces need to protect Hormuud and the Somali telecom industry as they make enormous contributions to the economy and provide vital services.
"During my visit to Somalia in 2011, I was surprised by the quick evolution of technology in Somalia," Omar posts, indirectly praising the telecom firm with terrorist ties.
"Hormuud Telecommunications is a company identified as being one of the single largest financiers of al-Shabaab, which includes large lump sum payments to al-Shabaab in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and these payments toal-Shabaab were facilitated by Jim'ale," the U.N. report says, adding that "Hormuud Telecommunications has provided key material and logistical support to al-Shabaab to include weapons, private fighters, and ammunition."
"Two employees of the principal Somali telecommunications provider, Hormuud Telecom Somalia Inc., were also prosecuted in connection with the attack, for facilitating the entry of the large vehicle-borne improvised explosive device through the Sinka Dheere checkpoint on the outskirts of Mogadishu," according to the U.N. report.
