Breaking News out of Africa...

Barack Obama's elderly grandmother has traveled to Libya to honor Moamer Kadhafi. Sarah Obama is a lifelong Muslim, and is a member of the Muslim-dominated Luo Tribe in northern Kenya. The Luos currently have nominal control of the Kenyan government. Luo Tribe member Raila Odinga, and Obama ally, is Prime Minister.

The Libyan President has been in the news recently for harboring convicted Lockerbie bombing terrorist Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi. Scottish courts convicted the Libyan terrorist for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. Al-Megrahi is responsible for the deaths of 270 people, including 189 Americans. But UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government gave him a reprieve last summer and allowed him to return to Libya.

Kadhafi meets Obama 'granny'

TRIPOLI - LIBYAN leader Moamer Kadhafi received the third wife of the grandfather of US President Barack Obama on Tuesday, Libyan state media reported.

Mrs Sarah Obama, who the US leader refers to as his granny... came to Libya to congratulate Mr Kadhafi on his efforts to unify the African continent...

She told the Libyan leader she had come 'to tell him of her pride as an African citizen in the efforts he has made to unify the African continent and his humanitarian initiatives for Africans,' JANA said.

Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama is 87 years old, and lives in a small village in Western Kenya. She gained notoriety in 2007 for making two claims to interviewers that she was present at Barack Hussein Obama's birth in Kenya.
