Somalia: Accused Bomber May Have Wanted Revenge over Deadly U.S. Raid
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Somalia, new details about Saturday's massive truck bomb attack
reveal an accused mastermind of the attack may have been motivated by a
deadly U.S. raid last summer that left 10 civilians dead, including
children. The Guardian reports the suspected bomber is from the specific
community targeted by the raid last August, a village near the capital
Mogadishu. Saturday's attack killed more than 300 people and left about
400 others injured.
