Intelligence analysts are worried that they may attempt to launch attacks in this country or use the kudos from having trained and fought in Somalia to try to attract new recruits. The issue was raised by Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, in his first interview last month.

In the US, the outgoing head of the CIA, Michael Hayden, has said that Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia in late 2006 “catalysed” expatriate Somalis around the world.

An investigation for Channel 4 News, to be broadcast tonight, also reveals that a suicide bomber who grew up in Ealing is thought to have blown himself up in an attack in Somalia that killed more than 20 people.

The incident is the first reported case involving a Somali based in Britain and will add to pressure on Scotland Yard and the Home Office to tackle the problem within the Somali community, which, at about 250,000 people, is the biggest in Europe.

Ethiopia did a darned good job stopping these Muslim terrorists before they consolidated their power and started moving into neighboring countries.

I've been saying that I expect Obama to start bringing in millions of Somali immigrants to do the jobs that Mexicans won't do. He's already signed an E.O. to bring in Palestinian terrorists at taxpayer expense.

And the Home Office wouldn't grant me, an American citizen and ally, a 3 month visa extension.
