Twitter MINNEAPOLIS — An FBI spokesman is calling the bureau’s meeting with young Somalis in Minneapolis a “big success.”
Ralph Boelter, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis office, met with a group of young Somalis on Saturday at the Brian Coyle Center.
Before the meeting, Boelter told the Star Tribune that he intended to listen to the Somalis and to explain “how we operate and what we are all about.”
FBI spokesman E.K. Wilson says the young Somalis did a skit and some poetry to demonstrate their cultural traditions.
The FBI is investigating the disappearance of about 20 young Somalis who left Minnesota. The agency believes the missing Somalis may be fighting with terrorists in their homeland.
Between 50 and 60 people attended Saturday’s meeting, which was closed to news media.
