At least two villages in southern Somalia were hit in Monday's US raids that Somali officials said were appropriate in the global war on terrorism and had killed many people whose identities were not immediately clear.

Interior Minister Hussein Mohamed Aidid echoed those comments, saying the United States "has the right to defend itself and has an international obligation to support a legitimate government under threat by terrorists."

"Many people were killed and I think the terrorists were eliminated," Information Minister Ali Jama told AFP.

"Absolutely, a lot of people were killed," government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari told AFP. "So many dead people were lying in the area, we do not know who is who, but the raid was a success."
