Washington, Apr. 29 (Washington Times & UPI) -- The U.S. State Department's annual terror report Thursday praised African nations for their role in the "war on terror," but noted some weaknesses.
The United States along with Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia are involved in the East Asia Counter-terrorism Initiative. Washington also works with Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad on the Pan-Sahel Initiative. African nations have also come together to jointly fight terror.
The "Patterns of Global Terrorism" report, however, pointed to Somalia as an area of concern.
The country is "a potential location for international terrorists seeking a transit or launching point to conduct operations elsewhere," it said.
