Terrorist wanted over kenya attacks killed in somalia
Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 03:31 PM by Kurska
"One of two people killed when fired from helicopters at a car in Somalia on Monday is believed to be Kenya-born Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a terrorist wanted by the FBI for the 2002 hotel bombing and simultaneous, but botched, missile attack on an Israeli airliner leaving Kenya's Mombasa airport, witnesses and a Somali government source told Reuter"

"In November 2002, three suicide bombers rammed their car into the Israeli-owned Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, killing Noy and Dvir Anter, 12 and 13, Albert DeHaville, 60, and nine others, and wounding 80.

At about the same time, terrorists fired at least two missiles at an Arkia airliner carrying 261 passengers as it took off from Mombasa's airport for Israel.

"A local man at the scene said foreign commandos who carried out the raid were wearing French flags on the shoulders of their uniforms, but a spokesman for the French Defense Ministry, Christophe Prazuck, denied any French soldiers were involved.

"We don't have any military presence in that region ... there are no forces in that territory," Prazuck told Reuters in Paris.

A Channel 10 analyst, identifying Nabhan as an al Qaida operative, said there was "someone systematically hunting down al Qaida men" around the world

In 2002, a previously unknown terrorist group, 'The Army of Palestine,' issued a statement in Beirut claiming responsibility. However, the complexity of the attacks cast suspicion on Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, which bombed two US embassies in east Africa killing 231 people.

live by the sword, well you know the rest I suppose

1. Exactly the same saying about living by the sword had occurred to me...

2. You kill civilians, you make enemies, you flee.
You're hunted, you hide, you think you got away.

And then one day, on the street, in a cafe, in a mosque, in your car or in your home.

A helicopter, a strike team, or a bomb takes you life.

And you're dead, the short violent life of the men at the very top of terrorist groups.
