Americans fire missiles into Somalia
Okay, I have to comment on this one:
American naval forces fired missiles into southern Somalia on Monday, aiming at what the Defense Department called terrorist targets.

Residents reached by telephone said the only casualties were three wounded civilians, three dead cows, one dead donkey and a partly destroyed house.

Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman in Washington, said the target was a "known Al Qaeda terrorist."

Hmm... which one? Al Qaeda employs cows and monkeys, now? Oh... a little later the article clarifies it.
The missile strike was aimed at Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a Kenyan born in 1979 who is wanted by the FBI for questioning in the nearly simultaneous attacks on a hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, and on an Israeli airliner taking off from there, in 2002, said three American officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the strike or its details.

One American military official said the naval attack on Monday was carried out with at least two Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from a submarine.

Ah! That makes so much more sense now. A submarine fired "at least two Tomahawk cruise missiles" at a young man "who is wanted by the FBI for questioning." Is it just me, or wouldn't that make questioning more difficult?

Gee, I sure hope that I or anyone in my neighborhood is never wanted for questioning.

yeah, but at least if you were wanted for questioning, your neighbors wouldn't have to worry about that parasitic plant that grows across the way anymore. ;-)
