Their son, Omar Hammami, is a wanted Islamist terrorist fighting -- or barely surviving -- in Somalia with a $5 million bounty on his head.
Now after an apparent assassination attempt on their son, the family opens up in an exclusive CNN interview about how their son grew up to be a terrorist, how their lives are changed forever and how their joint faith has seen them survive burdens that could have destroyed other families.
Shafik Hammami opens the door to his Daphne home wearing a University of Alabama football t-shirt. He was born in Syria, but after more than 40 years in the United States, he's as much a homegrown Alabama football fan as any other local resident. I ask him if he thinks 'Bama' will win the National Title again this year. He holds up his hands and proudly smiles: "Roll Tide." - From CNN
Terrorists for Bama. The Bear in his grave is doing something approaching 4500 rpm at this moment.
