Somalia

Shabaab threatened to attack the capitals of Burundi and Uganda. “You will see more people weeping in Kampala and Bujumbura if Allah says,” said Sheikh Ali Mohamed Hussein. Somalia’s president was targeted at the Mogadishu airport in yesterday’s mortar barrage that killed 20 civilians. The US will station Reapers in Seychelles to monitor Somali pirates; three ships have been pirated in the past 10 days.
