US backing Somali warlords?

There have been sporadic reports of US special forces operating in the Horn of Africa, but all the reporting has been non-specific. I can't say whether this allegation is true, but it does echo recent past tactics whether the Afghanistan operation or the black programs supporting the Columbian paramilitaries, the third wheel of the government/rebels/paramilitary civil war in Columbia.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Somalia's President Abdullahi Yusuf expressed concern on Thursday over U.S. support for warlords fighting hardline Islamic militia in Mogadishu as part of Washington's declared war on terrorism.

Some 90 people were killed in March in battles between fighters linked to the influential Islamic courts and those tied to a self-styled anti-terrorism coalition in Mogadishu, comprising most of the capital's powerful warlords.

By the way, "self-styled anti-terrorism coalition?" Just concerned warlords doing their bit?
