"A Swedish citizen has been reported killed in Somalia following an American air attack against alleged Islamic extremists in the rebel Puntland region.

The governor of the Barri Region, Mussa Jelle Yusuf, told news agency AFP that the Americans were targeting "an al-Qaeda hideout."

The dead Swede was said to be among a number of citizens of western countries killed in the attack."

Sweden has a very large problem with Muslim immigrants. Would not be surprised if the “Swede” is a Swede in name only, not in thought or deed.

So a Swedish Muslim went to Somalia to stir up some trouble, hm? Am I missing something?

Good point. I had thoughts of a blond in a bikini. Not thinking straight.

Ah, there may be more to the story: “The group were arrested in Kenya, having fled Somalia after the invasion by Ethiopian troops which brought about an Islamist retreat. Around 60 others were also arrested and sent to Ethiopia via Somalia.

The prisoners were accused of fighting on the side of the Islamist militia against Somali government forces and their Ethiopian allies.” http://www.thelocal.se/7407/20070525/

What are the chances this “Swede” is named Mohammed?

A thousand Swedes, through the weeds. Chased by one American(?).

Your Swedish jihaldist is shortchanged in this war. When they die they go to Valhalla and receive 72 Volvos.

Are we supposed to get outraged over this? Think again. It’s the cost of doing terrorism business.

LOL-— But seriously when you look at the rape statistics in Sweden, they are unreal. With the ‘immigrant” problem in places, especially Malmo, it isn’t hard to figure out what religion this ‘Swede’ is....................... I am not betting, Lutheran, on this one. :)

And can we all assume this was a card carrying Lutheran?
