U.N. Base Attacked in Somalia
August 18th, 2009Armed Somali militants attacked a United Nations base 250 miles outside of the capital, Mogadishu. U.N. security forces, however, retaliated, killing three of the militants. They had attacked the Wajid compound, which the U.N. uses to store aid supplies. “We don’t know what they had planned, but we think they wanted to take over the whole compound and kidnap foreign aid workers,” a U.N. official told Reuters. Estimates say that about 30 percent of the nation depends of food aid, the BBC reports. Militants often target humanitarian workers and many agencies have pulled back their work in the nation.
