US aircraft frighten Somali civilians
Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:21:13 GMT
American military aircraft have flown over the town of Kismayu in
southern Somalia frightening the civilians out of their residences.
Hundreds of civilians broke into a gallop after the warplanes flew
low-speed in threesomes over the town which is situated 500 kilometers
(300 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu, a Press TV correspondent
reported.
The reason for the presence of the aircraft in the Somali airspace is
yet unknown.
Fighters from the Somali opposition, the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC)
and its military wing Al-Shabaab together with other gunmen from Islamic
Jihad of Somalia are expected to be on the move apparently taking the
necessary precautions against the aircraft.
