‘Pakistanis among terrorists killed, caught in Somalia fighting’

PARIS: Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said in an interview published on Tuesday that suspected terrorists from Canada, Britain, Pakistan and elsewhere have been among those taken prisoner or killed in the military operations in Somalia.

Zenawi was quoted by French newspaper LeMonde as saying that he didn’t know the exact number of prisoners in Somalia because it changed 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.”

“But many international terrorists are dead in Somalia,”

He says it like it's a bad thing. Dead is good, no matter where they are.
GWB promised a War on Terror, no matter where it leads us. With a little support from his own country, mainly Congress and the mainstream media, maybe we could start to make those who want us all in our graves a little bit afraid. That would also not be a bad thing. It's unfortunate so few over here understand this.

Contrary to liberal opinion, these "insurgents" are not oppressed and deprived.

A lot of them come from places like UK and Canada because that's where the money is, and it takes money to travel to Pakistan for terrorist training and then travel to Somalia to blow people up or cut off their heads.

Dear Somalia Military Officials

Congratulations on your recent success in battle. I highly encourage you to learn from the problems we are experiencing and TAKE NO PRISONERS.

Sincerely,

GB

Good evening.

Didn't Zawahiri tell jihadis to fight in Somalia?

Thanks Doc.

Wasn't Zawahiri a pediatrician? Brainwashing the mushy skulls, and then sending out the toddlers (and you have seen them in the parades) with a strap-on bomb. And their most favored targets are the most innocent. Reminds me of something else, such as abortion.

Zawahiri did call for action in somalia.
That just goes to show how important it is for AQ to have a base of operations.
They have been denied free reign in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now Somalia.

We have them squirming

Story after story, detailing the various nationalities involved. Were ANY Somalis killed in Somalia?
