US drone strike kills scores in Somalia

Also on Tuesday night, the unmanned American spy planes attacked a number of targets in southern Mogadishu.

In another incident a US spy drone crashed near Halane military base in southern Mogadishu.

Somali officials confirmed that the US drone crashed on Wednesday in the southern part of the capital.

The American military has also used the unmanned aircraft in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq and Yemen. Washington claims the airstrikes target militants but they mostly result in civilian casualties.

Somalia has been without an effective central government and descended into chaos since 1991, when warlords overthrew former junta ruler Mohamed Siad Barre.

Somalia is one of the countries generating the highest number of refugees and internally displaced people in the world.
