Napolitano is shocked? I can't believe she is in a position of power. Pitiful and pathetic.
Security forces in Somalia's northern breakaway enclave of Somaliland said on Saturday they had foiled an attack on a mosque in Hargeisa where the imam had spoken out against militant suicide bombings.
Somaliland prides itself on its relative stability, unlike southern parts of the failed Horn of Africa state, where hardline rebels from the al Shabaab group control large swaths of territory and are battling a weak Western-backed government. But al-Shabaab, which Washington says is al-Qaeda's proxy in Somalia, wants to extend its influence north into Somaliland and neighboring, semi-autonomous pro-government Puntland.
Mohamed Saqadi Dubbad, the commander of Somaliland's security forces, said six rockets and two mortar bombs were recovered from Imam Sheikh Aden Sira's mosque after a local woman saw a suspected bomber carrying the explosives in a jacket.

London Library Ban On Sermons of Hate
Sunday January 10,2010
Hundreds of taped sermons by Al Qaeda hate cleric Anwar al-Awlaki have been withdrawn from public library shelves after questions were raised by the Sunday Express.
Muslim-led Tower Hamlets Council in east London removed 258 “talking book” cassettes on Friday after we asked bosses to justify being the only authority in the capital stocking his work. The tapes were available to borrow from the council’s main library in Whitechapel, a few hundred yards from where Detroit bomber Umar Abdulmutallab worshipped at the controversial East London Mosque.
American-born Awlaki, who records his messages from his base in Yemen, has been named as the 23 year old’s spiritual mentor and the man who encouraged him to try to murder innocent civilians. His sermons on “The Lives of the Prophets”, “The Life of Mohammad” and “The Hereafter” were ordered by council library managers in 2004, just a few months after he gave a series of lectures in Britain extolling the rewards of martyrdom.
Last Thursday, more than half of Tower Hamlets’s tapes were out on loan.

In this case, too many cooks DO NOT spoil the broth.
