Chimera Posted October 17, 2006 20 Somali army vehicles seized Kismayu - Troops loyal to powerful Somali Islamists have seized trucks mounted with machine guns and anti-aircraft rockets from rival militia they fought at the weekend, said an Islamist official on Tuesday. Sunday night's clashes in Jibil, a farming town about 110km north of Kismayu port, killed four and stoked fears of mounting violence in the Horn of Africa nation. "We have taken over 20 vehicles, including three big trucks mounted with anti-aircraft missiles," said Dahir Ahmed, a local Islamist official. "This was necessary in order to improve security." continues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thierry. Posted October 17, 2006 I suppose the same thing will happen the next time Barre's troops go on the offensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erselam Posted October 18, 2006 Duke, our Ethiopian reporter hates reports such as this. I long to see the death of Ethiopia and Ethiopian (like Duke and Yusuf) in Somalia.

Thankful Posted October 18, 2006 This is my favorite part of the article. "We have taken over 20 vehicles, including three big trucks mounted with anti-aircraft missiles," said Dahir Ahmed, a local Islamist official. Of course that's what he'll say, because that's the freaking side he is on!!!! What military in the world doesn't send out fake propaganda? My advice to you is to read where the article is getting its info from; regardless of what news agency wrote it. If they were quoting from a bias person (which this so-called Islamist obviously is) then you have to be very skeptical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
