Somali militant group al-Shabaab has released a new recruitment video. It targets African-Americans and Muslims living in the United States. And, disturbingly, it's using a video of American presidential candidate Donald Trump to try and depict the US as a racist society. Trump has had a very controversial campaign. One of his most inflammatory comments was when he called for a complete ban on Muslims entering the United States. Previously, Hillary Clinton has warned that extremist groups would use Trump's rhetoric as a means to try and recruit more fighters. Trump dismissed that claim.
