Ties with terrorism hits close to home

It is not unusual to hear of Minnesotans with ties to terrorists in the Mideast. For whatever reason, Minnesota leads the nation in the number of youth that are being recruited by ISIL and other terrorist cells.
But we were all stunned last week when it was announced that a Glencoe man, Abdul Ali-Skelton, was being charged in federal court with lying to the FBI about his alleged communications with terrorists in Syria.
And we were even more stunned when Ali-Skelton was arrested Sunday for allegedly making threats to kill people in a Brooklyn Park Walgreens.
