The Justice Department has charged fourteen people with providing support for the militant group al-Shabab in Somalia. Attorney General Eric Holder unveiled the case in Washington.

Attorney General Eric Holder: “Today, the Department of Justice unsealed four separate indictments charging fourteen individuals with terrorism violations for providing money, personnel and services to al-Shabab, a terrorist group operating in Somalia with ties to al-Qaeda. Two of these individuals have been arrested. These indictments and arrests in Minnesota, Alabama and California shed further light on a deadly pipeline that has routed funding and fighters to al-Shabab from across the United States.”
