Police are investigating Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow, 23, a Norwegian citizen born in Somalia, for possible links to the Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi. A person with the same name was acquitted in March of murdering a Somali journalist in Mogadishu. Dhuhulow is thought to be one of four men seen on CCTV video of the Westgate siege. Norwegian authorities had been watching Dhuhulow since he finished high school; he has contacts with a Norwegian Islamist group, Profetens Ummah. Authorities estimate that some 20 to 30 of the 23,000 Somalis living in Norway have gone to join Shabaab.
