PARIS - Ethiopia's prime minister said in an interview published Tuesday that suspected terrorists from Canada, Britain, Pakistan and elsewhere have been among those taken prisoner or killed in the military operations in Somalia. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi was quoted by French newspaper Le Monde as saying that he didn't know the exact number of prisoners in Somalia "because it changes constantly." "But many international terrorists are dead in Somalia," Meles was quoted as saying. "Photographs have been taken and passports from different countries have been collected. The Kenyans are holding Eritrean and Canadian passport holders. We have injured people coming from Yemen, Pakistan, Sudan, the United Kingdom."
A spokeswoman at the British Foreign office said it could not confirm reports that British passport holders have been involved in the fighting in Somalia. But she said her government was in touch with Somali and Ethiopian authorities and would continue to look into such reports. The spokeswoman spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with Foreign Office policy.
Ethiopia forces invaded Somalia last month to prevent an Islamic movement from ousting the weak, internationally recognized government from its lone stronghold in the west of the country. The U.S. and Ethiopia both accuse the Islamic group of harbouring extremists, among them al-Qaida suspects.

They should execute them on the spot.
Those pesky Brits and Canucks............
No world war there. Just move along.
Tell the SOBs they'll wish they'd died, and throw them into some " super secret CIA prison ".
I'm sure the bleeding hearts will wail and moan about these slugs.
Take the Canucks out back and shoot them! It's personal ............. FRegards
They already are.
Hurt????...Why aren't they dead???
I would hazard a guess that they are being talked to as we speak. and a number of them will end up in your Caribbean retreat from the stress of jihad.
What's wrong with these Canadians? If they want sharia law they can stay in Canada and wait a few months.
Enemy combatants, can you imagine what Ethiopia's version of Gitmo is like?

No cable TV? :-)
I'm late responding to a few posts which I found interesting or disturbing and this is one of them.
First of all just because these pieces of **** held or hold Canadian passports doesn't make them Canadian in the eyes of the majority of Canadians. As far as I am concerned the majority of these people don't want to be Canadian and will never be seen as Canadian. Most likely they weren't even born in Canada and are only present to receive what is free and not to give back anything in return.
I hope they throw them in a room with Cindy and Medea B.
