"by Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press | March 5, 2008
WASHINGTON - A US missile strike in Somalia on Monday targeted a Kenyan linked to a key suspect in the bombings of two US embassies in Africa in 1998, officials said yesterday.
The Navy... launched at least two Tomahawk missiles from a submarine off the coast of the East African nation, a Pentagon and FBI official said....
FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said he could not confirm whether Nabhan was hit in the strike in Dobley and referred questions to the Defense Department. The Pentagon official said he did not know whether the attack succeeded....
Residents and police in Dobley said at least eight people were seriously injured....
Yeah, and SIX WERE KILLED -- WOMEN and CHILDREN!!!
Hundreds of people shouted anti-American slogans yesterday in Dobley, which is near Kenya.
Meanwhile, congressional auditors said yesterday that the United States needs a comprehensive new strategy for Somalia.
The report by the Government Accountability Office said several challenges have limited existing US and international efforts to stabilize the country, which has lacked a functioning central government since 1991.
Yeah, thanks to the United States!!!!
It noted that an African Union peacekeeping mission has been hampered by a shortage of troops amid an insurgency; humanitarian and development assistance has been limited because poor security keeps aid from the most vulnerable; international food aid has not reduced acute malnutrition rates; and much of the assistance promised to Somalia is conditioned on political progress that has not been achieved."
But that is not a problem in Iraq!!!!!
WTF?!?!
