U.S. And French Plan More Somalia Town Advances
U S Marines and French Foreign Legionnaires said they plan to seize two central Somalia towns, Bardera and Hoddar, over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Col. Fred Peck said no opposition was expected. The move targets aid distribution points amid a famine that has killed up to 350000 and threatens millions. The White House said Bush will visit Somalia on December 31 to show humanitarian support, while Boutros-Ghali plans an early January visit and urges disarmament of gunmen. Two rival warlords continue moving heavy weaponry from Mogadishu. A firefight near the former U S Embassy caused no American injuries.
