NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - U.S. attacks on Islamic extremists in Somalia are undermining attempts to find a peaceful solution for the troubled Horn of African nation, a Washington-based aid agency said Monday.
A shaky transitional government took over Mogadishu, the Somali capital, in the last days of 2006 with the help of Ethiopian troops, unseating an extremist Islamic movement that had reigned for six months over most of southern Somalia. Now remnants of the Islamic movement are waging an insurgency.
In the past year or so, the U.S. has targeted suspected terrorists using missile strikes and added the military wing of Somalia's Islamic movement to its list of foreign terrorist organizations.
