Was this actually a combat death?

The AP story by Mike Levine says "Group Linked to Al Qaeda May Have Killed Minnesota Man Recruited in Somalia." That's the spin anyhow.

Burhan Hassan, a 17-year-old Somali-American, was allegedly killed by Al Qaeda in Somalia. He was part of a group of American-Muslims who were recruited in Minnesota by Al Qaeda.

The FBI is supposedly "investigating" the 20-some Muslims from Minnesota who recently traveled to the Middle East.

"Families that belong to this Minnesota mosque, Abubakar As-Saddiqu, were suspected of having a role in their loved ones' disappearance," wrote Levine.

One can't 'help but think this death is combat-related, perhaps killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. American media isn't about to question it. This writer, however, will.

The other story not getting any attention was the murder of an American soldier by a Muslim-American. Why are these stories being buried?
