Somali Training Camps Fuel Threat of Attacks on U.S.
(AP) Mohamed Olad Hassan and Jason Straziuso - The recruits gather in scorching desert hideouts in Somalia, use portraits of President Barack Obama for target practice, learn how to make and detonate bombs, and vow allegiance to Osama bin Laden. Training camps in Somalia are attracting hundreds of foreigners, including Americans, and Somalis recruited by a local insurgent group linked to al-Qaeda. American officials say the camps pose a security threat far beyond the borders of Somalia, including to the U.S. homeland.
