THIS CONFLICT IN SOMALIA IS NOT ENDING. I'M AFRAID A COMPANY WILL COME TO US ONE DAY TO CLAIM THAT SOMALIA AND ITS PEOPLE ARE PART OF HIS COMPANY ASSETS.
HE FIRED A DEADLY SHOT
AN OBJECT WAS AIMED AT
HE HIT TARGET IN THE HEART
HE CONFIRMED SUBJECT DEAD
BUT HIS TARGET WAS IMMORTAL

Take care,
Sherry
