Somalia rules out an American attack, asks for forces to prevent sneaking of Qaeda fighters

Somalia's prime minister Hassan Absheer Fareh on Saturday stressed that there is no reason to bombarding Somalia. He reiterated that al-Qaeda organization which is led by Osama Bin Laden does not win any support in his country ( Somalia).

In press statements, Absheer Fareh added he will welcome the deployment of American military teams to search for any terrorist camps in his country and to overcome these camps as well as to ensure that any of al-Qaeda fighters will not be able to flee from Afghanistan to Somalia.

Diplomats said that American officials had traveled from Kenya to Bedawa town since one week in order to collect information about possible terrorists in Somalia.

Fareh said that he would have wished that those ( American) officials whom he described as intelligence officers will co-ordinate their visit with his government.

Meantime, the political advisor for the Somali President Youssef Hassan Ibrahim has stated that the provisional government in Somalia asked for sending American forces to Somalia in order to monitor its coats and prevent the sneaking of members of al-Qaeda organization to it ( Somalia.).

Moreover, in a statement to the United Arab Emirates UAE al-Khaleij daily on Saturday, Ibrahim said that there are possibilities that al-Qaeda organization will be transferred to Somalia due to the fact that there is no military force to monitor the Somali coasts.

Ibrahim continued that for that reason the Somali provisional government asked the US to send military forces that can co-operate with Somalia to prevent the sneaking of al-Qaeda member and any sort of international terrorism to it.

Last Thursday two American helicopters flew over the area which is several kilometers far from Makadishu, according to eye- witnesses, who said that the crew of the two planes were taking pictures.
