Somalia: Suspected U.S. Plane Falls in Baidoa

25 December 2008


Baidoa — A suspected unmanned US spy plane fell in Baidoa, the seat of the transitional parliament, Radio Shabelle's Mahyaddin Husni reported on Thursday.

Our reporter says the plane was small one, mounted with cameras and crashed at the north side of Baidoa airport.

The Ethiopian troops in Baidoa took the plane to the airport and refused to the reporters to take photos from it.

No one was hurt in the accident.

US spy planes have been flying over many Somali towns since the Islamic Courts Union was defeated by allied government and Ethiopian troops.
