Scores dead after blasts rip through Somalian mosque

Somalia is a country largely abandoned by the rest of the world. The reason for running away is fear -- remember the catastrophic American intervention under President Clinton. But looking away is not a sensible approach. Violence has a tendency to spill over -- now, I should declare a bias -- I am involved in the Canadian Somali Congress but I don't think my ideas are wrong just because of that.

Mogadishu— The Associated Press

Two explosions at a mosque in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Saturday killed 39 worshippers, wounded scores more and hurt a senior member of the al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab rebels.
