I wouldn’t trust these guys any further than I could throw them.

An American citizen involved in a shooting massacre that killed over 143 in Kenya this summer and an American permanent resident with possible ties to the San Bernardino shooters have defected from the radical Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab, officials say.
One of the men, who is being referred to as Malik John (AKA Abdul Malik Jones, Abdimalik Jones) is originally from Maryland and was taken into custody Monday by Somalian officials. He has admitted to being involved with the Garissa massacre. The attack on Garissa College is one of the worst in Sub-Saharan Africa in recent memory, with reports that the attackers freed Muslim hostages and executed Christians.
The second man, Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan (AKA Miski), is a Somalian-born permanent resident from Minnesota, and may have connections to the San Bernardino shooters and the failed attack on a Texas convention where people were drawing cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to a report from a local Minneapolis news station, Hassan was in contact with San Bernardino shooters Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik over social media. Hassan was indicted by the federal government for attempting to recruit people in Minnesota to join al-Shabaab.
