Somalia war advances force Islamists from Mogadishu
Amid a rapidly advancing government offensive backed by Ethiopian tanks and MiG jets, Islamist militants fled into forested Somalia. The prime minister offered amnesty to surrendering fighters as regional diplomats seek a steady deployment of African peacekeepers to establish interim government authority after 15 years of anarchy. Kenya vows border closure to prevent extremists, while the U.S. Navy patrols sea routes hunting three al Qaida suspects tied to embassy bombings. Thousands flee, UNICEF notes no surge at the Kenyan border, and activists warn of a looming guerrilla war even as disarmament begins with a three day deadline.

Political grudge suspected in Thailand bombings
Thai military backed government named supporters of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as unofficial prime suspects in New Year bombings in Bangkok that killed three and wounded 38. Nine foreigners were among the injured as bombs exploded citywide. Authorities warned tourism could suffer as unrest shadowed the coup era. Thaksin denounced the allegations as unfair while security sharpened at 6 000 locations though evidence remained elusive.
