Any word on this operation?
a) The source. It is an Iranian broadcasting agency, and I think it may be prudent to wait until more credible news outlets report (or don't report) on this. If the BBC or CNN reports on it then it happened. For now only this Iranian source is reporting on it.
b) Bias - the source seems to have some bias in its reporting. For instance it claims that 'The Somali government has said it is "unacceptable" for Kenyan forces to be in Somalia without Mogadishu's approval.' That is simply not the case. The real story is that the Somali president (a chap called Sheikh Sharif Ahmed) said yesterday that Kenya shouldn't have come in (even though last week he was the same one who was ok with it). When he made those comments his own government said otherwise, with one military official (a Yasin Warfa) saying that 'The Somali government does not support Al Shabaab. It is only the president and that will be resolved.' At the same time 'hundreds of demonstrators' went to the streets in a Somali town called Dhobley waving Kenyan and Somali flags and burning pictures of the Somali president. One of their elders said 'Kenya do not believe the words of our weak, mad president. Please fight Al Shabaab and go deep into Somalia.'
Thus, I wonder about the angle the Iranian agency is trying to portray.
Anyways, while it is possible that the jets did crash, I think it is prudent to wait until a more credible news outlet reports on it. Iranian news agencies rank quite low on my list of news channels to watch.
