US strike kills 18 civilians in Somalia
Wed Oct 19, 2011

A US drone attack has killed at least 18 civilians and wounded several others in southern Somalia near the border with Kenya, Press TV reports.


The US drone attack struck Musa Haji district in Lower Juba region on Wednesday morning, and left 18 civilians dead and 37 more injured, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Medical sources told Press TV the victims were taken to hospitals in Kismayo, capital of the Lower Juba region and a port city located some 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of Mogadishu, to receive medical treatment.

Meanwhile, Colonel Mahad, a Somali military official, said that 90 members of al-Shabab militant group were also injured in aerial attacks targeting al-Shabab bases in the area. Twenty-four al-Shabab fighters later succumbed to their injuries.

Drone strikes in Somalia make the lawless state the sixth country where the US military has used remote-controlled aircraft to conduct such lethal strikes.

The United States has now employed drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq and Yemen to launch aerial bombings.

Somalia has been without a functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

Strategically located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia remains one of the countries generating the highest number of refugees and internally displaced persons in the world.

UNITED STATES ARE SYSTEMICALLY KILLING SOMALIS



US drone strikes kill over 100 in 2 days
Sun Oct 16, 2011

More than one hundred people have been killed in US drone strikes in Somalia, Pakistan's northwestern tribal region bordering Afghanistan, and Yemen over the past two days.


On Saturday, 15 people were killed and 43 others were injured when the US military launched an attack using a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle on the village of Bilis Qooqaani, which is located in southern Somalia, 448 kilometers (278 miles) west of the capital Mogadishu.

The US also launched drone strikes on the same region on Friday, killing at least 70 people.

In addition, five people were killed and four others injured in a non-UN-sanctioned US drone attack on Pakistan's South Waziristan on Saturday.

According to Pakistani officials, the unmanned aircraft fired four missiles at a house in the Baghar China area early on Saturday.

Local residents said four US drones were flying over the area before the attack.

On Friday, a US drone targeted a vehicle near the village of Darpa Khel, which is located about four kilometers (two miles) west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.

At least four people were killed in the non-UN-sanctioned US drone strike.

Seven people, including an Egyptian, were also killed in attacks carried out by unmanned US aircraft in southern Yemen on Friday.

A local official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the seven people were killed in three separate drone strikes.

He added that a mosque was also targeted by the unmanned US aircraft in an attack that left a number of people injured.

The US says its remote-controlled unmanned drones only target militants. However, reports have shown that most of the people killed in the drone strikes are civilians.
