#1 The International Crisis Group, a nonprofit organization that tracks conflicts, said al-Qaeda contributed to attacks on U.S. and U.N. peacekeepers in Somalia in the early 1990s.
That's news to me. How trustworthy is the ICG's assessment that Al Qaeda's war against the US started that early?

The group also said al-Qaeda used the country as a transit zone for terrorist attacks in neighboring Kenya and as a hiding place for some leading members. As has been said elsewhere before, about just about all of Africa. Which is why Special Forces are expanding, and why a unit of Marines just went off to Chad. (No link -- AP blurb in the local paper the other day.)
