'Holy war training camps' to open in Somalia
2006-09-20
Islamic militants who control of much of southern Somalia said Tuesday they will open training camps for Somali students to prepare them for a holy war against any foreign peacekeepers sent here.
“There is nothing wrong with our plan to train students. There are a lot of countries in the world that carry out such exercises...”
"There is nothing wrong with our plan to train students," said Islamic official Fuad Mohammed Kalaf. "There are a lot of countries in the world that carry out such exercises." The militants oppose foreign interference in Somalia, while the country's virtually powerless official government has appealed for outside help to pacify this chaotic Horn of Africa nation.

#4  Is Somalia volunteering to be the demonstration site for the "Totally Unleashed Display of Western Power to Absolutely Wipe the Face off the Earth Those Who Go Too Far". You know just to let the seething unwashed masses understand what Act II, is going to look like? Yucca Flats is just too remote and small and out of visual range, and the environmental paperwork is hell, for most of the muzzies who need to know.
