ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - A small group of U.S. forensic experts were brought into Somalia
to identify people killed during the recent war against Islamists, Ethiopian Prime Minister
Meles Zenawi said on Saturday.

Meles said in an interview with Reuters that as far as he knew there had never been U.S
ground forces in Somalia.

But "at one stage there were U.S. technical people who were brought in to help in the
identification of documents and dead bodies...experts in genetic identification and so on."

He did not say who the dead people were.

1. They sound like "hit list" experts from Murder Incorporated

I wonder how many of the bodies actually lined up with their tally sheets?

2. Hey, as far as he knew a 50 foot Elvis didn't strut across Ethiopia.

So what were US ground forces doing in Somalia?
