U.S. President George W. Bush has expressed concern that Somalia could become a safe haven for al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. That concern escalated following the victory of the Islamic Courts Union over a coalition of U.S.-backed secular warlords who ruled southern Somalia since the last effective central government collapsed in 1991.(AP Photo/Karel Prinsloo)
