BBC News - Black Hawk survivor 'would return to help Somalis'

BBC News - Black Hawk survivor 'would return to help Somalis': "The sole survivor of one of the US Army Black Hawk helicopters shot down by Somali militiamen in Mogadishu in 1993 says the deaths of 18 of his comrades should not have prompted the end of the military mission to restore order.


Michael Durant (pictured recovering in hospital) was almost beaten to death after the helicopter crash
Pilot Michael Durant told Radio 4's Broadcasting House that today's famine can be traced back to that decision to withdraw."
