New York Times Chronicles Minnesota Teen's Path To ISIS

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- This weekend, the New York Times is profiling a young Twin Cities man who joined a terror group last spring.

The article is titled, "From Minneapolis to ISIS: An American's Path to Jihad." It focuses on Abdi Nur -- the son of Somali immigrants in Minnesota -- and how active he's been on social media, even after traveling to Syria.

The paper also notes how his demeanor and his online postings changed after he started attending a different mosque in Bloomington.

A friend of Nur's, Abdulahi Yusuf, was stopped at the airport as he too tried to board a plane to the Middle East last May.

A federal grand jury is looking into who may have recruited the young men, and supplied money for their plane tickets.
