Terror haven?
The UN says Somalia was a transit point, and maybe more, for those behind the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania as well as a 2002 attack on a hotel in Kenya. Somalia has been cited as a possible haven for al-Qaeda and the US has set up a base in Djibouti. Most Somalis deny there are any terror camps in the country.
