Dozens of kids and their parents were killed while trying to register for scholarships at a university!
Yep that will teach the Somali Government and the AU peacekeepers !
(And they vow to follow through with more large scale attacks)
Al Qaida, A misguided gang of retards.
Islam A Misguided religion of retards.

Al-Qaida-linked militants launched their deadliest single bombing in Somalia on Tuesday, killing 70 people and demonstrating how the group that blocked aid to famine victims can still mount devastating violence even after most of its fighters fled the capital in August.
A truck loaded with drums of fuel exploded outside the Ministry of Education on one of central Mogadishu's busiest streets, where students and their parents were registering for scholarships offered by the Turkish government.
Rebels of the al-Shabab militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying it was striking government officials and foreigners -- referring to African Union peacekeeping troops supporting the U.N.-backed regime.
Although the Islamic fighters made what they called a "tactical withdrawal" from their bases in Mogadishu amid an AU offensive in August, they had vowed to carry out devastating suicide attacks.

Somalia famine spreads 'beyond reach of aid'
Far to little and way too late, that is how the U.N. operates.
But the reason why is only due to the fact that NOBODY wants to really help this part of the World; and for good reason.
Too many countries have tried and been burnt in the end, there is no helping savages.
Too bad because of that small children have too suffer and die, but this is what the Militants want.
Al Jazzeera
Famine has spread to a sixth area of Somalia and tens of thousands of people have died as a result of severe food shortages, the United Nations has said.
More than half of Somalia's entire population faces a severe food shortage, and the world body has now officially extended the famine zone.
In Mogadishu, there are now half a million refugees and there are warnings from the UN that the famine could spread to the entire south of the country by the end of the year.
The UN says it needs at least $1bn, but one leading charity says the public is being mislead into believing that money can solve the crisis.
Medicine Sans Frontiere, Doctors Without Borders, wants international aid agencies to admit that reaching some of the worst affected victims of famine may not be possible.

Al-Shabab Militants Withdraw From Somali Capital
The problem is they will not keep the pressure on Al Shabab, they have pushed them out of the capital but they are not killing them; which is the only way to get rid of them, they are like cockroaches.
Islam the Religion of Cockroaches.
VOA
Somali government and Islamist spokesmen say al-Qaida linked al-Shabab militants are pulling out of Mogadishu.
An al-Shabab spokesman says the group began leaving its positions in Mogadishu late Friday. He called it a strategic move to prevent a counter attack. He said al-Shabab will remain in other towns in southern Somalia.
Al-Shabab has been fighting to topple the Somali government. It has also been trying to prevent food aid from being dispersed to millions of victims of drought and famine across Somalia

Somali famine spreads
Three new areas are now affected by the Al Shabab imposed famine, I say Al Shabab imposed because if they were to not be such big jackasses; the people of Somalia would be receiving the food and aid they need.
But hey it is Islam we are talking about better to starve your people to death than accept food and water from the Infidel Americans.
The Washington post
The famine gripping parts of southern Somalia has spread to three new areas of the country, with the entire south likely to be declared a famine zone within the next six weeks, the United Nations said Wednesday.
Acute malnutrition and death rates have surpassed famine thresholds in the Balcad and Cadale districts of Middle Shabelle and among the refugee populations in Mogadishu and the Afgoye corridor, according to a statement from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s Somalia food security unit.
The statement called the current humanitarian response “inadequate,” attributing to it “ongoing access restrictions and difficulties in scaling up emergency assistance programs, as well as funding gaps.”
Much of southern Somalia is controlled by al-Shabab Islamist militants who last year banned food aid and forced many aid groups out of the region, exacerbating the drought crisis.
Famine is expected to persist across southern Somalia until the end of the year, the statement said.

Somalis Waste Away as Insurgents Block Escape From Famine
“It is safe to say that many people are going to die as a result of little or no access,” Mr. James said.
Oh your Starving ? Your children are dying ? you are trying to flee the country to Ethiopia so you may get help ? Oh no, you must go to prison now.
Al Shabab, is ensuring the deaths of thousands of people by denying Aid and denying people the ability to leave to one of two places where they can get the help they need, and one of those is known for its starving and destitute people.
Islam, the Religion of we will starve you to death before accepting Aid from the West.
The New York Times
somalia — The Shabab Islamist insurgent group, which controls much of southern Somalia, is blocking starving people from fleeing the country and setting up a cantonment camp where it is imprisoning displaced people who were trying to escape Shabab territory.
The group is widely blamed for causing a famine in Somalia by forcing out many Western aid organizations, depriving drought victims of desperately needed food. The situation is growing bleaker by the day, with tens of thousands of Somalis already dead and more than 500,000 children on the brink of starvation.
Every morning, emaciated parents with emaciated children stagger into Banadir Hospital, a shell of a building with floors that stink of diesel fuel because that is all the nurses have to fight off the flies. Babies are dying because of the lack of equipment and medicine. Some get hooked up to adult-size intravenous drips — pediatric versions are hard to find — and their compromised bodies cannot handle the volume of fluid.
Most parents do not have money for medicine, so entire families sit on old-fashioned cholera beds, with basketball-size holes cut out of the middle, taking turns going to the bathroom as diarrhea streams out of them.

Fazul Abdullah Mohammed: Death is 'blow' for al-Qaeda
Yes, what a great way to start off a Sunday with news of the death of an Al Qaida reject,
Well, how about the death of an Al Qaida reject that was the mastermind behind the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Nairobi that killed 250 People.
Rot in hell you POS.
BBC
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the death of top African al-Qaeda militant Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is a "significant blow" to the group.
He and another militant were killed earlier this week in a shootout with police at a checkpoint in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, officials said.
Mr Mohammed was the most wanted man in Africa, with a $5m bounty on his head.
He was suspected of having played a key role in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, which killed 224 people.

Al-Shabab leader killed in Somalia
What a fitting way for one of Al Shababs leaders , he deserved nothing less .
Al Jazeera
Sheikh Daud Ali Hasan, a senior commander of al-Shabab, an armed group fighting to topple Somalia's government, has been shot dead near Kismayo.
At least three masked men armed with pistols shot Hasan several times in the head and chest as he was coming out of a mosque on Friday night.
Abdi Hasan Ise, a witness, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying: "I heard gunshots and saw two men running; we rushed to the scene and there was a body lying there in a pool of blood."
Hasen has been leading the fighting against rival groups in the town of Dhobley, close to the border with Kenya.
Al-Shabab and Hizbul-Islam, another group fighting against the government, have been battling alongside each other in the capital, Mogadishu, but in the south they have been at loggerheads for months.
In depth
Hizbul-Islam denied having a hand in the killing, but said it would step up attacks on Dhobley after a raid on Friday night in which it said it killed a number of al-Shabaab militants.

US 'may back Somali offensive'
I trust that the Special ops Know what they are doing here , 93 was not a good year , The Battle for Mogadishu , remains as a stain on U.S. Military history .
Maybe someone has got the Balls to handle it like it should be handled these days , Unlike Bill Clinton did back in the day .
This could get Ugly , Lets just hope that we Get Ugly Right Back !
Al Jazeera
US special operations forces could help the Somali government with an offensive to dislodge al-Shabab fighters from the capital, Mogadishu, a US newspaper report says.
Citing an unnamed US official on Saturday, the New York Times website said the offensive could begin in a few weeks.
Washington believes al-Shabab has links to al-Qaeda, which has expanded its influence in Yemen across the Red Sea.
"What you are likely to see is air strikes and Special Ops moving in, hitting and getting out," the official is quoted as saying.
American advisers have helped supervise the training of the Somali forces to be deployed in the offensive, the paper said.
Washington has provided covert training to Somali intelligence officers, logistical support to peacekeepers, fuel for the manoevures, intelligence on fighters' positions and money for bullets and guns, the report said.
US officials said it was part of a continuing programme to "build the capacity" of the Somali military, and that there has been no increase in military aid for the coming operations.

Yemen rebels say air raid kills 120
Accusing the U.S. Of helping out with an Airstrike ? If the U.S. was involved a High Value Target was killed , That would be the only reason we would do this !
Seeing as how a High value target was not mentioned , it is probably unlikely !
But to the Douchbags of Somalia---->( The Cesspool of the World )
"Paybacks are a Bitch !"
SANAA (Reuters) - Yemeni Shi'ite rebels accused the U.S. air force on Tuesday of joining attacks against them, and killing at least 120 people in a raid in the north of the poor Arab state.
"The savage crime committed by the U.S. air force shows the real face of the United States," said the northern rebels, who often report attacks by the Yemeni and Saudi fighter planes, on their website. There was no immediate report of U.S. comment on the alleged incident.
The rebels, who are fighting the Yemeni army and forces of neighboring Saudi Arabia, posted videos on the Internet that appeared to show people trying to clear rubble covering human bodies.
On Sunday, the rebels said at least 70 people had been killed in a Saudi air raid on a market in the northern town of Razeh. The reports could not be verified as aid workers and media have limited access to the conflict zones.
U.S.-allied Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, fears the growing instability in neighboring Yemen could turn into a major security threat for the kingdom by allowing al Qaeda to gain a stronger foothold there.

Somalia Islamist Militants Execute 2 Men
Executed For Murder and Adultery ?
I thought that these crimes were a Favorite Pastime in Somalia !
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Witnesses say Islamist militants have executed two men accused by the fighters of murder and adultery.
Witnesses in the town of Afgoye southwest of the capital say the Hizbul Islam militants on Sunday stoned to death the man accused of adultery and shot the man accused of murder. They say the militants summoned the town's residents to watch the executions.
Islamic courts run by radical clerics have ordered executions, floggings and amputations in recent months. In some areas militants have also banned movies, musical telephone ringtones, dancing at weddings and playing or watching soccer.
Somalia has been ravaged by violence since warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991, then turned on each other.

Somali pirates seize weapons ship, attack tanker
The Somalia pirates again reach out even farther in their attempt to takeover the waterways around the Horn of Africa !
And now they have more weapons to do it with !
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali pirates have seized a United Arab Emirates-flagged cargo ship loaded with weapons bound for the anarchic Horn of Africa nation in contravention of a U.N. arms embargo, maritime experts said Monday.
Also Monday, the gunmen launched their longest range hijack attempt yet -- opening fire on a giant Hong Kong-flagged crude oil tanker 1,000 nautical miles east of Mogadishu.
Andrew Mwangura of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Program told Reuters he believed the weapons ship was using a fake name. He said it had been hijacked Sunday and was now held near the northern Somali town of Garacad.
"She is one of the regular weapons carriers circumventing the U.N. arms embargo on Somalia," Mwangura said. Maritime sources say the craft is believed to be carrying light arms and ammunition, as well as rockets and rocket-propelled grenades.
"We understand the weapons belong to the Somali government," Farah, a pirate, told Reuters by satellite telephone.
Another gang member, Hassan, said the weapons ship was well known to them: "It has been circling in our ocean for a long time, bringing illegal weapons to massacre Somalis," he said.

Shell fire kills at least 30 in Mogadishu
Not to be outdone in the News , The Somali Islamic "Rebels" ( Radical Muslims )start some crap of their own .
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Artillery battles between Islamist insurgents, Somali government forces and African Union (AU) peacekeepers killed at least 30 people in the capital Mogadishu on Thursday, residents and medical workers said.
Witnesses said the rebels launched volleys of mortar bombs at the international airport as President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed left for a meeting in Uganda, prompting AU soldiers there to respond with artillery fire.
Medical sources and residents said at least 30 people were killed and scores more injured in one of the heaviest exchanges to rock the lawless city for weeks.
AU sources said Ahmed was not hurt in the shelling....
Fighting in Somalia has killed 19,000 civilians since the start of 2007 and driven another 1.5 million from their homes.
Western security agencies say the Horn of Africa nation has become a safe haven for militants, including foreign jihadists, who are using it to plot attacks across the region and beyond.
The Horn of Africa , Has become the worlds largest Cesspool

Six foreigners killed in Somalia's Puntland
The six foreigners were from Pakistan !
Somalia is such a nice place , Why would any bad guys want to go there ?
With all that we Know About Somalia , why would anyone think that these guys were Average Pakistanis , And not Al Qaida Operatives looking to Further there Cause ?
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Six foreigners, said to be from Pakistan, were killed by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday in Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region, witnesses said.
Two other people were wounded in the attack at a mosque in Galkayo, residents said, adding that the foreigners came from Pakistan on Tuesday and were dressed as Islamist preachers.
"Masked gunmen opened fire in the mosque, killing six foreigners and injured two others," resident Sheikh Abdiqadir Ali told Reuters.
A local elder told Reuters that security forces were at the scene of the attack.
"Puntland forces have reached the mosque to carry away the dead bodies," the elder Mohamed Hussein told Reuters by phone from Galkayo. "These foreigners, mostly Pakistanis, were 25 in number and arrived from Pakistan yesterday."
Residents said the killings may have been motivated by suspicions that the foreigners had links to al Qaeda.
Lawless Somalia is viewed by the international community as a potential breeding ground for al Qaeda-linked groups and as a threat to regional stability.
Puntland's information minister was killed in the same area last week.

Fighting kills at least 17 in Somali pirate port
And speaking of morons killing morons , this is also good news , somali pirates fighting amongst themselves !
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Gun battles between clan militiamen killed at least 17 people and wounded 30 Saturday at a pirate stronghold on the coast of Somalia, witnesses said.
The fighting began overnight and intensified in the morning, forcing most of Haradheere's residents to flee, local man Farah Aden told Reuters by satellite telephone.
"The two clans are fighting over land and a girl who was raped in the forest. Unfortunately, the battles spread into town ... Fighting is going on fiercely," he said.
Somalia has been torn by civil war since 1991, and the government of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed controls only small pockets of the rubble-strewn capital Mogadishu.
Pirates who attack vessels using the shipping lanes linking Europe to Asia through the Gulf of Aden operate from several remote coastal bases including Haradheere.
One pirate in the lawless central Somali port said he was worried the bloodshed would cut the sea gangs' profits.
"We are all members of these two clans, and we are worried that this fight might end up being taken out on to the ocean," the pirate, who gave his name as Mohamed, told Reuters by satellite phone from Haradheere.
Good , Maybe you all will become Fish Food !

U.S. arms Somali government, rebels amputate limbs
More Mayhem from those peace loving Muslims in Somalia ! Oh yeah , Chopping off peoples hands , feet ,For supposedly stealing ! that is gonna win them the Nobel peace prize !
And what the hell is wrong with our Government ? Have they not learned that when you Arm a Government to help in the Fight Against Radicals , Those same arms ( And people ) Are turned against us down the Road ! WTF is wrong with the Idiots in charge ?
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - The United States said on Thursday it had sent weapons to Somalia's government to help thwart Islamist insurgents, who cut hands and feet off thieves and paraded the severed limbs in the streets of Mogadishu.
Somalia's al Shabaab insurgents are seen as a proxy for al Qaeda and Western nations fear they could destabilize the region and provide safe havens for hardline Islamists from elsewhere.
When a moderate Islamist was elected president in January, there was hope he could end nearly two decades of bloodshed in Somalia by reconciling with hardliners who want to impose a strict version of Islamic law across the country.
But Osama bin Laden declared President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed an enemy in an audiotape released in March. He called on the insurgents to topple the Somali government and for Muslims around the world to join their jihad.

Somalia's cabinet declares state of emergency
Somalia has been in a state of emergency since 1993 , constant turmoil , killings and political upheaval add to the mess , add to that militant muslims and you have the biggest cesspool of humanity in the world ! one that could stand for a good solid Bulldozing ! I doubt they will get the help they need !
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's cabinet declared a state of emergency on Saturday and the parliament speaker asked neighboring countries to send troops to help the government within the next 24 hours as fighting intensified in the capital.
Two legislators have been killed in the last two days in worsening violence between government forces and hardline Islamists trying to oust the Horn of Africa nation's leadership.
Al Shaabab insurgents stepped up an offensive against Somalia's government last month and on Thursday killed the country's security minister and at least 30 other people in a suicide car bomb attack.
They also killed an MP in northern Mogadishu on Friday.
"Today the Somali cabinet has unanimously declared that the country is in a state of emergency," a cabinet statement said.

Somali government forces seize ground in capital
I have no sympathy for this part of the world , it is the cesspool of humanity ! But anytime a blow is delivered to Al Qaida it is a good thing !
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali government forces drove Islamist insurgents from two districts of the capital on Tuesday in another day of heavy fighting that killed dozens of people, residents and officials said.
Hardline rebels with links to al Qaeda stepped up attacks in Mogadishu in early May and government forces have been battling to recapture lost ground. Fighting has killed more than 200 people since then and nearly 70,000 residents have fled.
"We have swept them from the area. Madina and Dharkenley districts are now in our hands," Abdiqadir Odweyne, a senior police officer, told Reuters.
Abdifatah Shaweye, deputy governor of Mogadishu, told Reuters government forces had also ousted the insurgents from a police station in Yaqshid district in the north of the capital.

Somalia's Shabaab vows more attacks on African troops
It is always the same with these people , Telling everyone around how it is going to be ! Because for what ever reason they have , they feel they should be the ones in control wherever they are ! For whatever religious Beliefs !
They all eventually take it to the point of "Killing" to get their way !
Which by "Most" religions ( And just plain decent thinking ) Is a big No, No,!
Islam When coupled with this kind of mentality , is the Single biggest threat to the World , And to all the "Normal" people in it !
....
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's hardline Islamist insurgent group al Shabaab pledged Monday to launch more attacks on African Union peacekeepers after the deadliest strike yet killed at least 11 soldiers from Burundi.
"This is our land and you are non-believers," said a statement on a website used by the militants, who are fighting the Somali government and a 3,500-strong AU peacekeeping force.
"Leave us for your safety or we shall never tire of increasing your death toll."
The site, www.kataaib.info, posted pictures of two young men it said were suicide bombers who blew up explosives in a jacket and a car next to an AU base at a former university in the coastal capital Mogadishu.
The militants' Internet statement said 52 people died and 34 were wounded in Sunday's attack.
The AU said its compound had been targeted by mortar bombs, not suicide bombers. It said 11 were killed and 15 injured.
Witnesses described a car speeding toward the gate before hearing at least one blast and seeing thick plumes of smoke.
Somalia's new President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, a moderate Islamist, arrived in the rubble-strewn city on Monday and condemned the latest bloodshed.
"AU troops will not leave through fighting and explosions, but through peaceful negotiation among the Somalis," he said.

Ethiopian troops quit main bases in Mogadishu
As The Secretary of state Condolezza Rice , pushes for a U.N. Resolution , placing a Peacekeeping force in Somalia , Ethiopian troops have said Bye,Bye Mogadishu , and the rest of Somalia ! With much of this pit of the world against Al Shabaab , this could be a little bit crazier ,with most likely several different Factions ,trying to gain power !
....Attention people of Somalia The Ethiopian troops left because they realized that you all would like to kill each other off ! and it's a lost cause trying to help you !!! Allah has nothing to do with it !!!
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia's Western-backed government quit their main bases in Mogadishu Tuesday, witnesses said, heralding the start of an uncertain new chapter for the anarchic capital.
Many residents were overjoyed by the departure of soldiers they saw as occupiers, even though some analysts fear it will leave a power vacuum and trigger more violence by Islamist rebels who have been battling the government and each other.
"We were chanting praise be to Allah, who made the troops leave our area," local man Hussein Awale told Reuters as hundreds of people gathered at one military facility in the north of the city that was abandoned overnight.
Insurgents have been fighting the interim government and Ethiopian forces for two years, since Addis Ababa sent soldiers to help drive a sharia courts group out of Mogadishu.
More than 16,000 civilians have been killed and one million have been forced from their homes. But frustrated by rifts in the Somali administration, and the cost of the operation, Ethiopia has decided to withdraw its estimated 3,000 troops.
Ethiopian commanders could not be reached for comment on their latest moves. But an Islamist opposition spokesman said he was told all Ethiopian soldiers would leave the city Tuesday.
"Ethiopian troops have left their strategic main bases in Mogadishu and the others will withdraw today," said Suleiman Olad Roble of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia. more
