Bana is a Somali name, mostly found in Benadir and Lower Shabelle. Few years ago, there was a 20 year old Somali man with the same surname from Minneapolis who was allegedly fighting for Alshabab killed by the Somali troops in Somalia.
Minneapolis Somali man killed in homeland.
The family of Jamal Bana discovered a photo of his body on a website. He was shot in the head. Others also may have died.
A third Minneapolis Somali man has been killed in his homeland, community leaders said Saturday, his family having learned his fate by stumbling onto a website that contained photos of his bloody corpse.
While the body was identified only as that of a "foreign jihadist" or "fighter," a closeup of the face left Jamal Bana's mother with no doubt. The young man had been shot through the temple.
FBI officials said Saturday they could not confirm the news.
Abdirizak Bihi, a community activist who visited with Bana's mother at her south Minneapolis home Saturday, said that Bana's family learned of his death early Saturday while searching the web for news on the fighting in Mogadishu.
