Son Of Aideed

NPR's Vicky O'Hara reports on the man chosen to succeed the late Somali militia leader General Mohamed Farrah Aideed (eye-DEED). The new leader is a former reservist in the U-S Marines who actually served briefly during America's military intervention in Somalia. He also is Aideed's son...and friends describe him as more American than Somali.
