Somalia

Somalia deported 39 Islamists, including the wife of Fazul Mohammed, to Ethiopia for interrogation. Yemeni newspapers claim the US is negotiating for the release of 15 US prisoners. Three Islamist insurgents were captured in Mogadishu, along with a huge cache of explosives, while 3 civilians were killed and 10 wounded during a wave of bombings in the capital.
