Ethiopia’s prime minister said in an interview published today that suspected terrorists from Canada, Britain, Pakistan and elsewhere have been among those taken prisoner or injured in military operations in Somalia.

The US launched at least two airstrikes on different locations against terror targets in Somalia, an official and witnesses said today.

A US airstrike in Somalia was targeting an al-Qaida cell wanted for two 1998 US Embassy bombings and killed large numbers of Islamic extremists, government officials said today.
