For 'Martyred' American Jihadi, Death No Impediment to Finding New Recruits

Funny how that works:

Al Qaeda's branch in Somlia has had the greatest success of any of the terror network’s franchises in recruiting Americans, and a video it released Wednesday shows why.

Though he was killed four years ago, Troy Kastigar of Minnesota remains an articulate recruiter for al-Shabab, al Qaeda’s franchise in Somalia that has been part of a long-running Islamic insurgency against the internationally backed but very weak central government in the capital, Mogadishu.

Using his nom de guerre, Muhammad al-Amriki (“Mohammed the American”), Kastigar traveled to Somalia in November 2008 and was “martyred” in 2009, according to the video.

IntelCenter, a private firm that tracks extremist media, provided the video and an accompanying analysis to The Washington Times.

“You can come here and join us,” Kastigar says on the video, urging others to follow in his footsteps...

Come join our death cult, sez the dead guy. How could anyone resist such an "appealing" offer.
