Radical Somali leader defends peacekeepers' killings

Matthew Boguslawski

In recent months, one country that has constantly been in the spotlight has been Somalia. This time the spotlight has shifted from their pirate infested waters to the internal problems which is destroying the already chaotic country. A suicide bomber attack killed 21 African Union peacekeapers this past Thursday. This attack was defended by a radical Islamic leader that claimed that the attack was "the right thing to do." The Islamic leader defended his argument with the defense of Islam as his excuse and defense. Violence like this is not foreign to Somalia, in fact AMISOM (African Union Mission in Somalia) was launched to help and try to balence this politically unstable mess of a country. The fate of Somalia is unknown, but at the moment it doesnt look good.
