Last Somali Islamist base 'falls'
2007-01-13
Somali government troops backed by Ethiopian soldiers have captured the last stronghold of the Union of Islamic Courts, the defence minister says. Col Barre Aden Shire said the town of Ras Kamboni, in south-eastern Somalia, fell after several days of fighting.

Remnants of the militia are now reported to be hiding in dense forest along Somalia's border with Kenya.

Only to those who hide behind those rough men who protect them!
