Targets of US raids planned terrorism in Kenya
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — U.S. interrogators headed to an American
warship in the Mediterranean to question a suspected Libyan al-Qaida
operative linked to the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa, as new
details emerged Monday about plots planned by a Kenyan militant who
escaped a U.S. raid in Somalia.
The two operations, thousands of miles apart in Africa and approved by President Barack Obama, signaled an American readiness to go after militants in nations where authorities are unable to do so, even years later.
The suspect captured in Tripoli is under U.S. federal indictment but was being held in military custody aboard the USS San Antonio in international waters — detained under the laws of war as an enemy combatant.

Japanese Dolphin Slaughter Town Taiji To Open Marine Park – Where You Can Eat & Swim With The Mammals
A Japanese town that achieved a bloody fame for its annual dolphin
slaughter has announced plans to open a marine park where visitors can
swim with the mammals – as well as eat their meat – while the hunt
continues in a nearby bay.
Taiji town official Masaki Wada announced the ambitious plans which could see a 28 hectare area netted off at the entrance to Moriura Bay, on Monday
“We already use dolphins and small whales as a source of tourism in the cove where dolphin-hunting takes place,” he told AFP, as reported by The Japan Times.
A diver hauls a dolphin from the blood-filled water
in Taiji in 2003
“In the summer, swimmers can enjoy watching the mammals that are
released from a partitioned-off space.
“But we plan to do it on a larger scale. This is part of Taiji’s
long-term plan of making the whole town a park, where you can enjoy
watching the marine mammals while tasting various marine products,
including whale and dolphin meat.”
The annual slaughter of dolphins was highlighted by 2009’s eco-documentary The Cove, which chronicled efforts to end the senseless slaughter of 23,000 dolphins annually in the coastal village.
