AMERICA is planning to attack al-Qa'eda fugitives in Somalia and has relied on Britain to persuade neighbouring Kenya to allow special forces to use bases there, American sources indicated last night.

Intensive studies of Somalia, where al-Qa'eda terrorists have been able to hide and train in the past, have shown the Pentagon that a broad military campaign as used in Afghanistan would not be necessary to destroy Osama bin Laden's limited network there.

The government of President Daniel arap Moi of Kenya fears that a large-scale assault would drive refugees by the hundreds of thousands across the Somali border to the already lawless north-eastern region of Kenya.

But in a low-key visit to Nairobi on Monday, Geoff Hoon, the Defence Secretary, reassured Mr Moi that an American intervention would be likely to be restricted to special forces operations rather than heavy bombing.
