December 5th, 2010 7:51 am ET In a statement that came as no surprise to U.S. security and law enforcement experts in January 2010, the Somali-based Muslim terrorist group Al-Shabaab announced that its fighters are aligned with al-Qaeda's global terrorism campaign. The group's statement also announced that its militants had joined forces with a smaller insurgent group called Kamboni, another radical Muslim organization. On Friday in the Southern District of California, Anaheim resident Ahmed Nasir Taalil Mohamud, 35, was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, and conspiracy to launder money, according to a report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police's Terrorism Committee Mohamud appeared in federal court in San Diego, where U.S. Magistrate Judge Jan M. Adler arraigned him on the indictment and ordered him held without bail pending a detention hearing on December 7, 2010. According to the indictment, returned on November 19, 2010 but unsealed Friday, Mohamud conspired with Basaaly Saeed Moalin, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud, and Issa Doreh to provide money to Al Shabaab, a violent and brutal terrorist group in Somalia. In February 2008, the U.S. Department of State designated Al Shabaab as a foreign terrorist organization. Last January, Al Shabaab announced its affiliation with the equally dangerous and brutal al-Qaeda. The indictment alleges that Al Shabaab has used assassinations, improvised explosive devices, rockets, mortars, automatic weapons, suicide bombings, and other tactics of intimidation and violence to undermine Somalia's Transitional Federal Government and its supporters. According to court records, Moalin, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud, and Issa Doreh are charged with the same offenses in a separate indictment already pending in federal court in San Diego. The arrest of Mohamud arises from an investigation that involves the Orange County Joint Terrorism Task Force, the San Diego Joint Terrorism Task Force, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection directorate. The charge of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
