It has been confirmed that the two men killed by the security officials in Mogadishu on Saturday were the two men who were wanted for the US embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya. The two suspects Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and one other were killed at a checkpoint in Mogadishu when they tried to resist police search and attempted to open fire on the police.

The death of Mohammed and his colleague was described as a major blow to the al Qaeda. This is another loss to the organization which is yet to come to terms with the death of Osama Bin Laden last month in Pakistan.

Already the Americans are rejoicing over the death of Mohammed but there are still worries whether the dead person was actually Mohammed. Mrs. Clinton seemed to be convinced that the terrorists were the people killed at the checkpoint.

Until his death Mr. Mohammed was the most wanted man in Africa by the American security officials. The Americans have placed a $5m tag on his head.

The Somali security were said to have fired at the vehicle when it refused to stop for security check and the men had to fire back. The firing power of the security overwhelmed them and Mohammed was killed. The US authority knew that it was Mohammed through the DNA that was carried out.

The embattled leader of Libya Col Moamar Gadhafi had assurances from Turkey for him to leave Libya but has not gotten any answer from Gadhafi even as the NATO bombings close in on him. The prime minister of Turkey Tayyip Endogan made this disclosure on Friday.

The prime minister who was speaking to journalists in NTV said that Col. Gadhafi has no other option than to leave power and leave Libya. He said that his country has offered him safe guarantee through an envoy he dispatched to meet with Gadhafi in Tripoli. The prime minister said that they gave him the assurance that they would help him to go to anywhere he would like to go. He said that Turkey is ready to discuss with their allies to help him cede power and leave the country. He regretted that they have not received any response from Gadhafi.

Turkey is a member of NATO which had continued air bombardment of Tripoli. The prime minister did not elaborate on the type of assistance and guarantee they will give to Gadhafi. Both the rebels in Libya and NATO had given it as a condition that Gadhafi must leave the country before they would agree to any ceasefire. Gadhafi has remained adamant maintaining that he will fight the war to the last man.

As expected the Syrian military has moved its tanks and personnel to the north western city of Jisr al-Shughour. This was reported by the Syrian television who described the move as a mission to restore security.

The Syrian security officials had said earlier in the week that about 120 security personnel were killed in the city by a group they described as armed gang. The residents of the town had expected the military assault and many of them have crossed over to the neighboring Turkey. The fleeing refugees reported that dozens of tank had moved into the city. It is feared that about 2,800 residents of the town which is said to have a population of about 5000 people have already fled the town to Turkey.

Foreign journalist are not allowed into Syria since the crises started and even those refugees that crossed the border to Turkey were not allowed to talk to the foreign journalists.

The movement of the army into the town is a retaliation of the reported killing of 120 security men in the town. However there is an opposing view of the 120 soldiers said to have been killed; the Syrian opposition said that the figure are soldiers who were loyal to president Assad but now defected to the opposition.
