Somali residents plan City Hall rally in response to Portland bomb plot | OregonLive.com:

"Portland-area Somali Americans plan to gather at 5 p.m. today outside City Hall for what organizers are calling a 'peace and unity' rally in response to allegations that Mohamed Mohamud, a U.S. citizen of Somali descent, plotted to detonate a bomb at Friday night's Christmas tree lighting in Pioneer Courthouse Square.

In a prepared statement, organizers said, 'The Somali American community strongly condemns any type of violence. We left Somalia because of violence.'"
