The Global Mall
How al-Shabab recruits in one of the largest Somali communities in the United States.
With the Somalia-based al-Shabab militant group claiming responsibility for an assault on a Kenyan shopping mall, we hear how the large Somali community in the American twin cities of Minneapolis-Saint Paul is feeling pressure from al-Shabab recruiters there.
We also look at how the American concept of indoor shopping malls has found fans around the world. How delegates to the United Nations General Assembly let their hair down after hours. A Muslim fraternity takes root in Texas. And, American craft beers spark a global brewing revolution.
