Oh, so THEY KNOW about BLACKWATER in the AREA, 'eh?
I guess THAT is who the TRAINERS are at the "Al-CIA-Duh" SCHOOL, huh?

"Bombings inside Somali mosque kill 30; Strike is country’s first of its kind in house of worship" by Mohamed Olad Hassan, Associated Press | May 2, 2010

Yeah, the people who live (or not) in the aftermath of "wars."
My heart is with you, Somali people; I know you enjoyed about six months of real peace back in the summer of 2006 -- until Ethiopia invaded and occupied because the US doesn't like "Islamist" government (whatever the hell that means; check "friend" Saudi, 'ey?).
But back to Blackwater's dirty deeds.
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Two bombs exploded inside a small mosque in Mogadishu’s main market yesterday, killing at least 30 people in the first Iraq-style bombing inside a house of worship in Somalia, officials said.
Not even the MOST PIOUS PATSY that "Al-CIA-Duh" can rustle up would do that. Sorry.
The blasts in the Bakara market went off while people were sitting inside the Abdala Shideye mosque waiting for noon prayers. The bombings highlight the increasingly violent path Somali militants are taking following an influx of insurgents into the country from the Afghanistan conflict, fighters who are now training Somali militants.
Translation: BLACKWATER is ON the MOVE!
Readers!!
Hey, America, if this is true, WHY are we getting our ASSES WHIPPED in Afghanistan.
Oh, I'm sorry, MSM doesn't even care to keep track of whatever lies they have to shovel for the agenda on a certain day so neither will I.
Cheerio, folks!
The targeted mosque is tiny — only about 25 square yards — and sits in a crowded market among electronic shops. Rugs that line the mosque floor were set on fire, and streaks of blood and black smoke charred the walls.
“It was very horrific. The blood was everywhere, human flesh cut into pieces scattered everywhere in the mosque. I could hardly stay there,’’ said Abdulahi Nuur, who attended to the dead and wounded.
Most of the victims were worshipers.

"Now stop and think here for a moment. All revolutions depend on public support. Revolutionaries try to first win the people before they take on the government. So, no revolutionary goes out and murders civilians in cold blood. Did Washington and his men just mow down a marketplace of their fellow colonials for the heck of it? No, they did not. Washington and the Founding Fathers knew that their revolution to build a new country needed the support of those who would live in that country. This is true for every revolution in history. Therefore, these acts of terror being blamed on the insurgency must all be fakes, committed by intelligence agencies working for the governments to be blamed on the insurgents in order to destroy public support for the revolution." -- Wake the Flock Up
Yeah, THAT STILL STANDS HERE (and in a lot of other places -- like Afghanistan and Pakistan)!
It's GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE or THO$E PRIVATE COMPANIE$ they have CONTRACTED to do the JOB!
Ali Muse, the head of Mogadishu’s ambulance service, said at least 30 people were killed and 70 wounded. Abdullahi Haji Ilmi, a witness, said he counted 32 bodies.
Somalia’s top two insurgent groups — al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam — have previously targeted each other’s leaders, and yesterday’s attack could have been a retaliatory assassination attempt against al-Shabab.
Oh, yeah, yeah, two insurgent groups, blah, blah, blah.
Groups we never heard of, yeah, right.
I smell the "Al-CIA-Duh" -- and it is coming from the newspaper on the desk.
A high-ranking member of al-Shabab was said to be inside the mosque. It was not immediately known whether Fuad Mohamed Qalaf survived the bombings.
Oh, these guys always turn up alive again and again, haven't you been paying attention?
Qalaf is among 11 people whose assets were recently frozen by the United State for involvement in terrorism.
Sheikh Fuad has frequently taught religious lessons at the mosque.
“He was there when the blasts went off. The whole area was cordoned of by scores of al-Shabab militants. Nobody could get inside,’’ said a businessman, Farhan Alin.
Witnesses said two remote-controlled bombs were detonated, including one that was placed near the front entrance, where worshipers put their shoes before going inside.
What, NO SUICIDERS?!?!
That STINKS of BLACKWATER!
A second bomb was said to have been at the front of the small mosque, where the imam would stand.
An al-Shabab spokesman, Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, blamed the attack on the work of “foreign security companies’’ whose aim, he said, was to massacre Muslims. Rage offered no proof for his allegation.
Yes, if you have a "TERRORIST" speak the REAL, HONEST-to-GOD TRUTH then he can not POSSIBLY BE BELIEVED, right, 'murkn?
Just some crazed terrorist spewing, right?
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, the first such bombing of a mosque in Somalia.
When you begin to UNDERSTAND the PRISM of the AmeriKan MSM PRESS it BECOMES CLEAR that MY SUSPICIONS are LIKELY the TRUTH, readers.
I DON'T LIKE IT ANYMORE than you do, but THERE IT IS!
A bombing took place outside a mosque in Bakara earlier in the week, killing two people.
Okay, first I heard about it.
Related: The Silent Civilian Slaughter in Somalia
Lot I'm not reading about in my newspaper (while they are running crap, readers!).
Bakara market is the country’s main market, and despite tensions in the country, it is bustling with business. The area is controlled by al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam.
That's why it is bustling with business with MILLIONS of UNMENTIONED SOMALIS are STARVING in REFUGEE CAMPS!
And doesn't that just REEK of an INSIDE JOB?

Okay, now that we have established who and what the "terror" groups are and who is truly behind them, let's move on to ALL the SILLY S*** the AmeriKan MSM has been serving us:
"Militants ban music from Somali radio" by Associated Press | April 14, 2010
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Rock, rap, and love songs once filled the airwaves in Somalia’s war-torn capital, one of the few pleasures residents had. But Islamist militants ordered music off the air yesterday, labeling it un-Islamic in a hard-line edict.
Pfft!
This is like the South Park sham.
Stations immediately complied, fearful of the harsh punishment militants mete out here: amputations and stonings. The edict is the latest unpopular order from the Islamists, who also have banned bras, musical ringtones, and movies.
????
More than a dozen radio stations complied with the order by the militant group Hizbul Islam, the National Union of Somali Journalists said.
So this is a "CIA-Duh" offshoot?
Somalis in Mogadishu can still listen to music on two stations: one government-controlled, the other UN funded.
You know, the "good guys."

So what more shenanigans are the "bad guys" up to?
"Somalia, allies recruiting refugees to fight Islamists" by Sudarsan Raghavan, Washington Post | April 18, 2010
DADAAB, Kenya — The US-backed government of Somalia and its Kenyan allies have recruited hundreds of Somali refugees, including children, to fight in a war against al-Shabab, an Islamist militia linked to Al Qaeda, according to former recruits, their relatives, and community leaders.
Oh, NO, NO, NO!!! Only "terrorists" do that!!!
So when you SEE or HEAR about CHILD SOLDIERS just remember it is the SAME SIDE playing BOTH SIDES!!
This is what they call an ATROCITY!
Many of the recruits were taken from the sprawling Dadaab refugee camps in northeastern Kenya, which borders Somalia. Somali government recruiters and Kenyan soldiers came to the camps late last year, promising refugees as much as $600 a month to join a force advertised as supported by the United Nations or the United States, the former recruits and their families said.
And at home?
"The Naval Academy also has been reaching out to students in seventh and eighth grades to emphasize the importance of developing math and science skills to help raise chances of admission."
Yeah, it is ALL WAR ALL the TIME over here!
Have a good life if you can, kids; if our leaders have not robbed you of it already.
“They have stolen my son from me,’’ said Noor Muhamed, 70, a paraplegic refugee whose son, Abdi, was recruited.
Across this region, children and young men are vanishing. All sides in Somalia’s conflict are recruiting refugees to fight in a remote battleground in the global war on terrorism from which they fled, community leaders say.
That is why i can ONLY HOLLER SAD!!!
SO SAD that SOMALI SUFFERING is BUILT on that DAMN LIE!!!
It is unclear whether recruiting by the governments of Kenya and Somalia is ongoing. But their military officers continue to train refugees at a heavily guarded base near the northern Kenyan town of Isiolo as the Somali government prepares for a long-planned offensive against the Shabab.
Oh. So SOMALIA WILL BE in the NEWS SHORTLY, will it not?

FBI Case File: The Truth About Tariq Mehanna
Time for some SOMALI FALSE FLAGS to START FLYING in AmeriKa again, MSM?
A second camp is in Manyani, a training station for the Kenya Wildlife Service in southern Kenya, according to former recruits, relatives, community leaders and UN investigators.
“They told us we were going to Somalia soon,’’ said Hassan Farah, 23, who escaped from the Isiolo camp last month.
Farah, who was injured in a 2008 bombing in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, first spent more than two months at Manyani. “I saw 12-year-old children at the camp,’’ said Farah, who has a jagged scar on his left arm. He escaped by bribing a water truck driver to sneak him out.
The Kenyan government has acknowledged that it is helping to train police officers for Somalia’s weak interim government but said that the recruits were flown in from Mogadishu.
I wouldn't want a 12-year-old cop; not with the kids around here. The ones we have are bad enough.
“No one is recruited from the refugee camps,’’ said Alfred Mutua, a Kenyan government spokesman.
Yeah, okay, government.
But (of course) a recent UN report on Somalia confirmed the recruitment of refugees, including underage youths, for military training.
So SOMEONE is a LIAR, huh?
Kenya’s training program, the report said, is a violation of a UN arms embargo, which requires nations to get permission from the UN Security Council before assisting Somalia’s security efforts.
Well, we can just ignore that or veto any resolution like we do for Israel.
Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN special representative to Somalia, said he has not personally seen evidence to act on. “If this recruiting is happening, we have to condemn it,’’ he said.
“They told me I would become a soldier and fight the Shabab,’’ said Ahmed Barre, a bone-thin 15-year-old whose family fled Somalia’s anarchy in 1991, when the central government collapsed.
He was born in Dadaab’s camps and has never been to Somalia. “I didn’t want to go. But I was jobless. I wanted to help my family.’’
Draft table right over here, 'meriKan kid.

So WHO are the "BAD GUYS" again?
"Somali pirates seize 3 fishing vessels" by Associated Press | April 21, 2010
NAIROBI — Somali pirates hijacked three Thai fishing vessels with 77 crew aboard more than 1,200 miles off the Somali coast, the farthest-off-shore attack to date, the EU Naval Force said yesterday.
Oh, they GOT the RIGHT ONES this time (as if Thailand did not have enough trouble on its hands).
Pirates have expanded their range south and east in response to an increase in patrols by European and US warships off the Somali shore.
That is SO RIDICULOUS!
And IF TRUE, then the WORLD SHOULD COME HOME because THEY ARE FAILING!
Of course, if it's all a charade to gain globalist control of the vital shipping lane in preparation for an attack on Iran and WWIII then it makes perfect sense.
And IF THEY CAN'T BEAT "pirates" then THEY CAN'T WIN WARS!
And WHERE are ALL the OTHER PIRATES along ALL the OTHER COASTS, huh?
Seems like a LUCRATIVE BUSINESS with the WORLD TIED up in the Indian Ocean and the U.S. Coast Guard (allegedly) busy with the oil spill?
Lot of OUT of WORK FISHERMAN around, too!!!
Again, readers, it gets to the POINT of ABSURDITY as to what they try to PASS OFF as NEWS to us here in AmeriKa!
The hijacking of the three Thai vessels Sunday was almost 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the EU Naval Force, said its spokesman, Commander John Harbour.
Yeah, okay, whatever.
The EU Naval Force said the attack so far out at sea was a clear indication that the European Union, NATO, and US-led antipiracy missions are having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area.’’
Yeah, we are WINNING EVERYWHERE yet STILL LOSING, sigh.
“Once they start attacking that far out, you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,’’ said Roger Middleton, a piracy specialist at the British think tank Chatham House. “Once you’re that far out it’s just the Indian Ocean, and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to southern Africa.’’
I think we know to whom they are connected.
Pirates have increased attacks against shipping vessels over the last year in hopes of netting multimillion dollar ransoms. Because of increased naval patrols and increased defenses on board commercial vessels, the pirates’ success rate has gone down.
Yeah, we are winning, I got it.
And CUI BONO?

So when are the "bad guys" going to do something "good," huh?
"Somali militants run pirates out of town" by Associated Press | April 27, 2010
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Fighters from Somalia’s Al Qaeda-linked militant group moved into the northern region where Somali pirates operate early yesterday, residents said, forcing pirates to flee in an apparent attempt by the insurgents to close down the piracy trade.
Did they say hello to their fellow agents and assets as they ran?
The pirate gang holding a kidnapped British couple fled into a forest to escape, a self-proclaimed pirate chieftain said.
Oh, YEAH, I had FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT THEM!
Related: British Invisible Ink Dries
So they had the phone taken away because that was the last I heard of 'em.
I hope MI-6 was putting them up in a good hotel.
Paul and Rachel Chandler were bundled into a car after militants neared the town of Haradhere, said Maslah Yare, who leads the pirate gang that is holding the couple.
Somali pirates and insurgents are two separate groups.
IF you say so, MSM!
If
Not a good word for a news report.
Al Shabab militants take control of pirate strongholds, the 300-plus foreign hostages that pirates hold could be in greater danger. Yare said the Chandlers — who are in their 50s — were walking deep into a forest and away from the Islamist militants.
A spokesman from the militant group could not be reached for comment.
Since when?
But a witness, businessman Ahmed Salad, said an advance team of Al Shabab militants entered the pirate lair in two vehicles about midnight Sunday after they had routed moderate Islamists from villages nearby. He said the militants withdrew a short while later.
Oh, so THIS WAS NOT ABOUT PIRATES at all!
This was about RUNNING DOWN the POPULAR GOVERNMENT that KEPT PEACE for SIX MONTHS back in '06!
Damn "terrorists!"
The pirate lairs are generally in northern coastal villages, while Al Shabab operates mostly in southern and central Somalia.
Pffft!
Yeah, aren't the "pirates" closer to the Ethiopian shelter, I mean, shore?
A second resident of Haradhere said pirates have started to withdraw from the city to another pirate den called Hobyo.
Arrrgh!
Would you like some rum, matey!?
“The town is nearly empty after pirates have left it,’’ said businessman Yusuf Arush. “It is calm but tense.’’
Where is CIA-Duh?
As Haradhere became a pirate stronghold in recent years, vices arrived alongside the millions of dollars in ransoms pirates have raked in. The drugs, alcohol, and prostitution that now thrive in Haradhere are vehemently opposed by Al Shabab, an ultraconservative Islamist militia that carries out lashings, stonings, and amputations as punishment.
Oh, so they HAVE BEEN LIBERATED and ARE WORKING FOR U.S. force$!
--more--"
Of course, they are TRYING REAL HARD to PROVE HOW GOOD THEY ARE!
"Somali militants vow to free pirates’ hostages" by Associated Press | May 4, 2010
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Islamist militants who seized a pirate stronghold on the Somali coast will liberate any foreign hostages they find, a militia commander said yesterday, but the brigands had fled on land and were also sailing off with several captured foreign ships.
Dozens of fighters from the militant group Hizbul Islam group rolled into Haradhere on Sunday. Pirates piled their big-screen TVs into the luxury cars they had bought with ransom payments and drove off, avoiding a clash.
While SOMALIS are STARVING!
At least four hijacked ships anchored near Haradhere moved toward Hobyo, another pirate den, said Osman Gure, a Haradhere resident.
The head of operations for Hizbul Islam, Sheik Mohamed Abdi Aros, said his fighters have not come across any hostages yet, but if that they do, the militants will release them along with any hijacked ships. Pirates hold more than 300 hostages taken from ships attacked off East Africa in the past several months.
“Hizbul Islam came here to install Islamic sharia law in this region and fight piracy, which we consider un-Islamic,’’ Aros said by phone. “We hope to curb the dirty business.’’
And occupy the town?
Sharia is a conservative and often harsh interpretation of Islam. Drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes have flooded Haradhere along with the millions of dollars in ransom pirates have received.
Pirates are armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles but probably won’t fight Hizbul Islam, said one self-proclaimed pirate, Maslah Yare. He said one pirate leader had 60 machine guns but still fled.
“They like life and don’t want to die,’’ Yare said. “Every pirate will tell you: ‘Why do I have to fight? I have enough money to survive.’ ’’
Roger Middleton, a piracy specialist at the British think tank Chatham House, said pirates may simply move their operations farther north.
Under the Ethiopian umbrella.
Hizbul Islam was kicked out of the southern port town of Kismayo by the more powerful Islamist militant group al-Shabab and could be looking for a new base for its operations.
Then it is AGAIN NOT ABOUT the pirates and all that other s***.
Middleton said it’s not clear whether Hizbul Islam will resist the financial lure of the pirate trade, adding, “These aren’t completely pure organizations.’’
Actually, they are in one sense:
Yup, thought I smelled something sweet this morning.
Any mixing of the pirate trade and the more dangerous Islamist insurgency has major implications for the foreign hostages the pirates now hold and for the ability of international shipping companies to pay the pirates’ ransom. If militants take over the piracy trade, ransom payments would end up in the hands of groups branded as terrorist organizations.
Israel already gets plenty of money.

So WHEN does that ONCE-MENTIONED, LONG-PLANNED OFFENSIVE START?
