An American jihadi in on military mission in Somaila - fascinating!

In this Vanguard extra, Abu Monsoor Al-Amriki -- aka "American Jihadi" Omar Hammami, originally from Daphne, Alabama -- outlines Al-Shabaab's plan to ambush Ethiopian and Somali troops. This and similar videos are intended to help recruit other young Muslims from the West to wage jihad overseas.
