U.S. Launches Targeted Assassination in
Somalia, Many Civilians Reported Killed
An interview with Salim Lone, former spokesman for the UN
mission in Iraq and a columnist for the Daily Nation in Kenya.
He has been closely monitoring the story. He joins us on the
line from Nairobi.
The strikes come just weeks after U.S.-backed Ethiopian forces
invaded Somalia and overthrew the Union of Islamic Courts.
Reports have also emerged that suggest U.S. Special Forces and
CIA paramilitary teams are now directly embedded with Ethiopian
forces in Somalia. Earlier this year, the CIA was accused of
backing a group of Somali warlords.
