 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Extremists in Somalia threatened to carry out suicide attacks against African Union peacekeepers who are to begin deploying in the coming days, and the capital's international airport came under mortar fire Thursday.
A newly formed extremist group, the Popular Resistance Movement in the Land of the Two Migrations, posted a new warning against the peacekeepers.
"We promise we shall welcome them with bullets from heavy guns, exploding cars and young men eager to carry out martyrdom operations against these colonial forces," said a man who read from a statement in a video posting on an Islamic Web site.
