MOGADISHU, Somalia - Two Americans were among at least 10 foreigners caught
by Kenyan police at the Somali border after allegedly fighting with Somalia's
ousted Islamic movement, an official said Friday.

One of the Americans is wanted in the U.S. for links to radical movements, the
Kenyan police official said. Kenya was preparing to deport the foreigners, seized
after escaping advancing Ethiopian troops who helped oust the Islamists, to their
home countries.

Among the foreigners in Kenyan custody were four Britons, a Frenchman, a Tunisian
woman, Syrians and other Arabs, said the Kenyan official, who spoke on condition
of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information. The date of their
deportation was not yet known.

One of the Americans was arrested with his 9-year-old child, the Kenyan police
official said. The U.S. Embassy had no comment.

1. Bullshit Arrest.

I expect this type of thing from some African nation but sadly today we're no better.
