Since the outbreak of civil war in 1991, Somalia has suffered from the kind of chaos that provides cover for militants. On Aug. 7, 1998, deadly car bombs detonated simultaneously next to the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people--just 12 of whom were Americans--and injuring more than 4,000.

After two nights of considerable disorder that left around 80 police injured (versus 200 for the entire three weeks of rioting in 2005), a massive deployment of riot officers helped bring near order to the area Tuesday evening.
