San Diego, Minneapolis (IINA) - Terrorism investigation resulted in several arrests in San Diego and Minneapolis in USA on Sunday, federal officials confirmed, according to media reports.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and agents from the San Diego field office “executed arrest and search warrants with respect to several individuals,” the FBI told the Los Angeles Times in an email.
Relatives of those arrested said the FBI is holding six men, according to Minnesota Public Radio, which first reported about the operation. At least three of those men were the sons of Somali women, MPR reported, and the families said they did not know why the men had been arrested.
A spokesman for the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office said the arrests were made in Minneapolis and San Diego but there is no threat to public safety. Spokesman Ben Petok did not give details about the charges. He said more information would be released Monday.
