Somali forces detain head of UN aid programme

Armed forces form Somalia attacked a UN compound in Mogadishu and detained the head of the World Food Program. People say a force of 60 men took place in the attack. This was response to weeks of growing tension between the UN and Somalia transitional federal government. The WFP said it had not been given word about the detention by the national security service and is suspending food operation to 75,000 people in Somalia. Eight civilian and a police man died during some of the heaviest fighting in weeks. Although the WFP is the largest aid agency, who deliver food to 2 million people, have been accused of feeding Islamics terrorist hiding in aid camps. Camps are composed of hundreds of thousands of people who fled Mogadishu after the fall of the Islamic Courts Union at the end of last year. Giving aid is hard to due to constant hijacks, border seals, and aid workers have to risk their lives dealing with warlords. The African Union and government soldiers have tried to assert control. Overall 400,000 people have fled to aid camps.
