Somalia's presidential palace comes under mortar attack
2012-04-16
(Sh. M. Network) -- Armed groups launched once again mortar rounds atSomalia's presidential palace, Villa Somalia in Mogadishu, witnesses said on Sunday.

Local residents near the palace told Shabelle Media by phone on condition of anonymity that they could hear mid last night mortars being fired at the heavily protected Somali presidential compound, the fourth attempt to strike at the heart of the government in a fortnight.

No group has claimed the responsibility for the bombardment at Somali palace so far.

It was not immediately unclear to verify the exact number of casualties in the attack. TFG officials at the palace were unavailable to reach on the line for comments about the shelling.

Under pressure from African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
 and Somali government troops, the al Qaeda-linked forces of Evil withdrew from Mogadishu in August prompting a return to relative calm in the capital, although they still manage to launch sporadic attacks.

#7  Thus must the pious acknowledge that all the jihadis who are given salaries, and pensions for their families after they die, are but cruel tyrants whom all pious Muslims must abhor. So too, those who take booty for themselves from among the families and possessions of those they conquer, for that is reward and remuneration for the service rendered for the sake of religion.

Sounds remarkably like a Pirate's Code, tw. Off course, given the reality of the hatred and bloodshed displayed between the various ROP sects, the dictates of the ROP version of the Code appear to understood more as guidelines than hard and fast rules, ya see.

#5  Golly, I do believe Mr. Sheikh of Pickering, Ontario is attempting to wage keyboard jihad on this site. Perhaps later it will sink in that he was defeated in this endeavor by a little Jewish suburban housewife who achieved a D- average in her two attempts at CS113 (Intro. Comp. Sci) back in 1979.

Or perhaps not.

#4  And Mr. Sheikh, we only post a statement once. Repeated paste'n'n post behaviour is bad manners -- as a resident of Canada, you must appreciate the distinction -- and leads to the poster being banned. You will understand that we must maintain standards, I am sure.

Thus must the pious acknowledge that all the jihadis who are given salaries, and pensions for their families after they die, are but cruel tyrants whom all pious Muslims must abhor. So too, those who take booty for themselves from among the families and possessions of those they conquer, for that is reward and remuneration for the service rendered for the sake of religion.

How strong the contrast between the jihadis of Islam and the soldiers of the West and Israel! The jihadis demand goods, money, and boys and girls for pleasure and wives from among those who shelter them. The soldiers of the West and Israel take nothing without paying fairly for it, and build schools and dig wells for those they conquer -- of their own funds and not tribute -- that the children of the Muslims should be healthy and learn to read and write, as all do in the West.

Thank you, wamiq sheikh, for making that clear to those here who were ignorant.
