An American named Douglas McAuthur McCain died in Syria fighting for ISIS, the acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which has taken over parts of Iraq and Syria.
He was from Minnesota - where he and other Americans were recruited.
The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis is sometimes called "Little Mogadishu." It's center of the nation's largest concentration of Somalis, and fertile ground for Islamic terrorist groups recruiting new fighters.
McCain grew up just a 15-minute drive from here.
"He [was] not talkative. He was quiet," community leader Omar Jamal said.
Jamal says he met McCain briefly. McCain was not Somali, but his Facebook page shows he had many contacts in that community.
Jamal said almost everyone in the community denounces terror groups. But as many as 40 other young men from Minneapolis have joined Islamic fighters after they were pulled in by jihadists through social media.
Meanwhile in Ferguson Missouri.
40 FBI agents were there going door to door to investigate the shooting of Michael Brown.
Gee, I wonder how many FBI agents Obama and Holder have in Minnesota?
