Somalia: Ethiopian forces intercept weapons
2007-04-27
(SomaliNet) The Ethiopian forces in Beledwein, provincial capital of Hiran region in central Somalia intercepted two trucks carrying weapons towards the capital, Mogadishu, sources say on Thursday. Witnesses say that the Ethiopian forces stationed in Janda-Kundishe checkpoint, outside of Beledwein confiscated the weapons including explosives like anti-tanks mines.

It is still unclear whether the weapons were for sale or they wre sent to insurgents fighting in the capital with the Ethiopians.
One way or the other ...

#6  It's probably too late for you to read this today, Paul, over there in England. But Saddam Hussein's Iraq was responsible for providing advanced training and supplies to various terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, whereas the Saudis only provide money and the jihad ideology. Besides, Saddam Hussein was in the midst of a hudna, and uncompleted war with the entire United Nations. What possible excuse could we have offered the world for attacking Saudi Arabia, apparently unprovoked? The same question held true for Syria, by the way, however much they deserved having their rubble bounced.

It would have been more cost effective to invade Saudi instead of Iraq.Saudi are destroying/influencing more countries worldwide than Iraq ever did!!!!

#3  Everyone capable of dispassionate thinking has noticed, Paul dear. But until their oil can be at least partially replaced, which Iraq and Canada are working on flat out, or until the Saudis are replaced or at least their grasp of the oil rich strip of territory is broken, we're stuck pretending we're best friends forever... while trying to keep their knives from being stuck too deeply in our backs.
