US Considers Striking Al-Shabab Camps in Somalia
------------------------------------------------



In other news from Somalia, the Washington Post reports President Obama

camps by the Al-Shabab militant group in southern Somalia. Others in the
administration oppose military strikes, because there is no evidence the
group is planning attacks outside Somalia.
