US warns of Africa terror attacks

The US has issued a warning to its citizens in the Horn of Africa
about the threat of suicide attacks from Somali extremists.

The US embassy in Nairobi said public landmarks in Kenya and Ethiopia
could be targets for suicide bombers.

The alert follows the collapse of peace talks between rival factions
in Somalia vying for control of the country.

The BBC's East Africa correspondent, Adam Mynott, says the warning
is in one respect specific - it talks of a threat of suicide explosions
in prominent landmarks in Kenya and Ethiopia and warns US citizens
to take caution in prominent public places.

2. So we are going to do a False Flag attack on Africa Now, blame it on Muslim Extremists, insist they
must be liberated from the Bogeyman, therefore we must invade, and take their Oil, kill and torture their civilians, and provide Halliburton with yet more no-bid contracts?

Shouldn't we Invade Iran first? I mean, it might be unwise to jump ahead in the script at this point, and it might be a bad idea to introduce another major character in the middle of the Season.

Sigh, this is what happens when they get someone else besides Bruckheimer to write their wars for them.

:sarcasm:
