Several signs indicate that Al-Shabaab is on the verge of expanding more chaos beyond Somalia, its home base.
In all likelihood, it would be attacking Americans everywhere around the world.
Lately, the Al-Qaeda-linked extremist group has been on resurgence in the Horn of Africa nation.
Al-Shabaab is the largest and most active branch of Al-Qaeda around the world. It has issued specific threats against Americans.
The group has listed counterterrorism officials, intelligence analysts, U.S commandos, and Americans in East Africa as well as those in United States.
In the last few months, two Al-Shabaab militants were arrested while going through flying lessons. One was apprehended in Philippines and the other in an unnamed African country.
