Thousands of Somalis took to the streets Sunday to protest a US bombing that killed a man said to be Al-Qaeda's chief in the country, and 11 other people, organisers and residents said.
The protest took place at Dhusamareb, a trading post of about 100,000 people, 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of the capital Mogadishu, where Thursday's attack took place.
Abdirasak Moalim Ahmed, one of the organisers of the protest, said that in the days since the attack, people had been vomiting. "We believe the Americans used poisonous bombs," he said.
The US air strike killed at least 12 people including Moalim Aden Hashi Ayro. The Somali government and western intelligence said was the leader of Al-Qaeda in the country.
Ayro in his early 30s, was military leader of the Shabab, a group on the US government's terrorist list. Their leaders are believed to have trained and fought with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network in Afghanistan.

To hell with ‘em. The last time Somali Muslims “protested” the US, they were dragging around the corpses of our soldiers.
One by one, we’re gettin’ it done! :)
If we dropped a soap bomb on them that would probably take them out better than poison.

A too-long-delayed pay-back for dragging our dead soldiers through the streets of Mogadishu.
We’ve let far too many Somalis into the USA since then.
Can anyone spell payback time?
so what?
lets bomb them while they are protesting
That is what I was thinking. Also a good place to try out a MOAB.

Target rich environment...
"Hey Somalia! Zip it."
“Can anyone spell payback time?”
Let the skinnies expeience the shock and awe of an arc light run by B-52s.

They should be glad it wasn’t a nuclear bomb; too bad it wasn’t.
