unknown1 Posted August 29, 2008 US aircraft frighten Somali civilians Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:21:13 GMT American military aircraft have flown over the town of Kismayu in southern Somalia frightening the civilians out of their residences. Hundreds of civilians broke into a gallop after the warplanes flew low-speed in threesomes over the town which is situated 500 kilometers (300 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu, a Press TV correspondent reported. The reason for the presence of the aircraft in the Somali airspace is yet unknown. Fighters from the Somali opposition, the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and its military wing Al-Shabaab together with other gunmen from Islamic Jihad of Somalia are expected to be on the move apparently taking the necessary precautions against the aircraft.
