Last one to the Kenyan border is a rotten corpse...

Islamic stronghold captured, Somali prime minister says:

KISMAYO, Somalia - Somali government troops backed by Ethiopian tanks and MiG fighter jets have captured the last major stronghold of a militant Islamic movement, the prime minister said today.

Islamic fighters, many of them Arabs and South Asians, were fleeing in heavily armed trucks toward the Kenyan border 100 miles to the south after a 13-day onslaught led by Ethiopian army.
