Bancroft Global Development, U.S. Group - "Al Qaeda recruiting in the USA"April 28, 2013 http://www.childrensrightsinstitute.org/236/bancroft-global-development-us-group-al-qaeda
MOGADISHU, Somalia — On the front lines of Mogadishu's streets, Islamist militants battle African Union troops. Standing alongside the peacekeepers are members of an American-run team of advisers, former military men who play a little-known but key role in the war against al-Shabab. The men employed by Bancroft Global Development live in small trailers near Mogadishu's airport but often go into the field. It's dangerous work – two Bancroft men were wounded last month. Michael C. Stock, the American head of Bancroft, said his men share information with the FBI about bomb materials and the DNA of suicide bombers, who sometimes turned out to be Somali-American youths from the Midwest. Stock said his company receives no recompense for sharing information with the FBI. © 2024 Children's Rights Institute. |
