Somalia: A Weak Link Between al Qaeda and Somali Pirates

"Much of the media’s attention has focused on links between al Qaeda and Somali pirates operating in the Gulf of Aden. Though there are several interested actors — including al Qaeda — that would want to play up this connection, the al Qaeda-pirate link is weak at best. Any future attempts by al Qaeda to increase cooperation with Somali pirates are likely to be stifled by Somalia’s clan-based society and its commercial interests."

If this is indeed true, it still doesn't justify taking people hostage and the continued use of using deadly force.
Especially of people who had nothing to do with the above. The American ship was a merchant marine vessel, attempting to deliver relief supplies, from what I have read.

It is true. Every word of it. I myself was forced to watch as a US Sailor with 4 inch fangs sucked the blood of a poor fisherman. Oh wait I was the sailor and my fangs are only 3 inches. But I did eat many somali fisher peoples.

Reuters AlertNet - Somali rebels fire mortars near U.S. politician
Quote:
MOGADISHU, April 13 (Reuters) - Militant Islamist insurgents fired mortars toward U.S. congressman Donald Payne as he left Somalia on Monday after a rare visit by a U.S. politician to the anarchic Horn of Africa nation.
The attack came a day after U.S. forces killed three pirates in an assault off Somalia that freed an American hostage.
The al Shabaab insurgents, whom Washington accuses of being al Qaeda's proxy in Somalia, claimed responsibility for the mortar attack, saying it was a message to the United States.
Unstable climates are where terrorists recruit. Al Qaeda might be fishing, but that's not the root cause of problems in somalia. We cannot fight every civil war for the planet, unless it's UN sponsored, and unless that UN force has a solid mission statement that's achievable. Bosnia/Serb conflict was managed considering the potential greater genocide had no intervention occurred. Somalia, not so much.
Our troop presence in somalia ...

Katianna it's important to realize that relief aid food has been used as alternative currency to trade for guns. Who is arming pirates? Sudan, for instance, was being armed by china in a trade for oil during oil crisis. Guns can be used by good guys or bad guys equally- it's anyones guess if china was discerning.

I never said two wrong make a right.

One solution would be for countries to recognize the potential causes of piracy--the dumping of nuclear waste which has resulted in respiratory infections, mouth ulcers and bleeding, abdominal hemorrhages and unusual skin infections--all signs of radiation sickness. Then there are illegal trawlers who are depleting the Somalian coastlines of tuna, shrimp, and lobsters in worth as much as $300 million a year. In order to get their compensation, they hijack ships for ransoms.

Perhaps there is some truth to these claims and perhaps some pirates are just thugs looking of a quick buck. But of course, we can always just chalk them up as Muslim terrorists who hate us for our freedoms.

Fang envy will be duly noted in the report submitted to the dept of homeland terrorism.
