US killing al Queda suspects in Somalia
The United States has considerable if stealthy, military and intelligence assets in Somalia and they quietly hunt down and kill al Qaeda and al Qaeda local operatives, while also engaging in efforts at local community building, water well drilling, and veterinary help to herders
The United States has been worried for a while about the growth of al Qaeda influence in Somalia, as the organization hopes to use the state of chaos in the country to establish training and supply camps, as it did in Afghanistan before 1991 and is now doing in the north-west territories of Pakistan.
Two months ago a local Islamic militia tied to al Qaeda moved on Somalia's Transitional Federal Government in an attempt to take over the central authority. Encouraged by the United States, neighboring Ethiopia invaded Somalia and squashed the Islamic rebellion in short order.
The United States has considerable, perhaps the adjective "active" would be more accurate, if stealthy, military and intelligence assets in the country, and they quietly hunt down and kill al Qaeda and al Qaeda local operatives, while also engaging in efforts at local community building, water well drilling, veterinary help to herders, and more.
The latest worry for the United States is the growing support by Eritrea, Ethiopia's nemesis, of Islamic activity in Somalia. www.hsdailywire.com
