Yes George we have no doubt that your US Marines will be in Somalia in force before too long-whats the big deal-you just want cheap oil to fuel your war machine or is it that you are scared of Al Quaeda!!
The United Nations has warned that fresh conflict is increasingly likely in Somalia, where Islamic forces have risen to power in recent weeks, rivalling the authority of the country's official transitional government. An Islamist group is now in control of much of Somalia including the capital, Mogadishu, raising fears in the west that they could provide a safe haven for Islamic radicals from al-Qaeda.
The main source of concern for the United States is al-Qaeda involvement.


The UIC deny any links, or that there are terror training camps in Somalia.

But diplomats believe that small groups of al-Qaeda militants, including foreigners, are operating in the country.




There have been at least four attacks on US and Israeli targets in east Africa - all linked in some way to Somalia
