#1 The OLF is part of the Oromo-Somali-Afar Liberation Alliance (OSALA), a coalition of Islamist groups in Somalia, Eritrea, and Ethiopia formed back in 1997. Most of their manpower is provided by the Islamic Union of Ogaden, which joined al-Qaeda way back in December 1991.

Al-Ittihad seems to be Faisal Abdullah Mohammed's private mob, they're the bastards who killed 18 US troops in Mogadishu back in 1993 and more recently tried to shoot down that El Al jetliner over Mombasa. Ethiopia will probably use this as reason to launch another incursion into Somalia - they can't just take an attack like this lying down.
