At least 10 people have been killed and more than 40 wounded by a Kenyan air raid in southern Somalia. The attack occurred in an area controlled by al-Shabab militants. Farhana Dawood reports.
The details of the air attack remain unclear. The Kenyan army says it had intelligence that a senior al-Shabab leader was visiting a camp and it followed through with air strikes that killed 10 al-Shabab fighters and wounded 47 others. They deny reports from witnesses that bombs were dropped on a refugee camp and that those killed and injured were all internally
displaced
civilians, including children. Kenyan forces crossed into Somalia earlier this month after a series of kidnappings they blame on Somali militants.
The Bishop of London Richard Chartres has told anti-capitalism demonstrators camped outside St Paul's Cathedral that their protest cannot continue forever. Accompanied by the dean of the
cathedral
, he said legal measures which might lead to their eviction">eviction were prudent but there was no need for a violent confrontation between the demonstrators and police. Our religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott has more details.
The steps outside St Paul's became a theatre for passionate debate when the bishop and dean appeared. They faced questions about the violence that could follow any
eviction
of the protesters. Doctor Chartres had already issued a statement saying if the campaigners packed up their tents and left voluntarily, he would make sure their voice was heard in debates about the financial crisis held in the cathedral. Today he said he, too, was concerned about issues such as executive pay and giving shareholders more control over it, but that the camp threatened to distract from discussing them.
