Scott Johnson:
I was told in 2019 that Hashi entered the United States with Omar as Guhaad Omar and reclaimed his name when he became a citizen. According to my source, Omar was his fake sister and he was her fake brother, although they may have a familial relationship of a more distant kind.
Incidentally, that would still leave five Omar siblings unaccounted for among the seven whom the Star Tribune and others have attributed to Omar’s family. In a classic case of the blind leading the blind, the New York Times followed the Star Tribune on this point — while fact-checking Trump!
Can either the Star Tribune or the Times name one Omar sibling with the name Omar? As of this date, neither the Star Tribune nor the Times has ever done so.
Yet we know that Sahra Noor is Omar’s sister. We know that Leila Elmi (or Leila Nur Said Elmi) is Omar’s sister. What is going on here? Hint: We know that the man variously identified as Nur Omar Mohamed or Nur Said Elmi Mohamed or Nur Said Elmi was Omar’s father (see Benjamin Weingarten’s American Ingrate at pages 156-157) and we are quite certain that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (Omar’s husband number 2) is Omar’s brother, although Omar denies her sibling relationship with the latter.
