On the afternoon of October 3rd 1993, a military raid took place. It was made up of Delta Force Soldiers, Army Rangers and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. This was an attempt to capture two of Warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid’s senior subordinates in the Bakara Market Mogadishu, Somalia. The mission was led by Major General William F. Garrison and was supposed to take no more than half an hour. The extraction by the Delta team was successful, but the Somali Militia, armed with RPG’s, shot down two Black Hawk helicopters. The resulting rescue extended the mission to over 18 hours.
Bush got us in there and then Clinton...Clinton got them all in here..A huge amount are also in Portland Maine..on welfere I guess..
Farah Aideed’s own son was a city clerk in the California city of Long Beach, and he was interpreter for the US deployment there in Somalia, either for the US Army or USMC.
Once there, he defected to the enemy side.
It was a news story that was spiked, since it was embarrassing to the Clinton administration.
