ASHINGTON - The Kenya terrorist attacks last week have prompted the United States to heighten military and intelligence activities inside Somalia to a degree not seen since the humiliating 1993 street battle there that killed 18 US soldiers and led to a withdrawal of troops, US officials say.

Is this why the Hi-Jacking Terriorist spent the night in Portland, Maine before 9-11?

One has to wonder how many terrorists are among the thousands of Somalis imported by Catholic Charities, not only to Maine, but nationwide.

Jesus, Mainers, get a grip! This Somali-bashing has gone from a reasonable gripe about welfare-statism to outright racism. Who'll be the first to post an article claiming that Somali men lust after our white daughters?

You are much too rational for this group of isolationists....you need Redneck 101.

Notice how the Mohammed Atta stay in Portland has been downplayed by the powers that be?...not to mention the bank account at Key bank. Now that would be an interesting thread.

I'm just very concerned about all of this. It is my state, after all. It's very unnerving to think that terrorism is linked to the Somali's, and they are living in Maine. I wonder how many other states they have set up housekeeping, in.
