More media commentary, this time on the US escalation of bombing.


From this Reuters newsfeed from SMH,



US launches new air strike on Somalia


US forces hunting al-Qaeda suspects launched a fresh air strike on southern Somalia today, a Somali government source said.


"As we speak now, the area is being bombarded by the American air force," he told Reuters, giving no further details.


The latest attack followed a US strike in the area on Monday which Somali officials said had killed many people, prompting criticism from around the world including new UN chief Ban Ki-moon.




oh, so they've gone hunting in Africa, have they? And it's a 'fresh' set of bombs- i mean, 'air strikes'. How considerate. One could almost forget that there are human beings being bombarded and their lives threatened.
