Outside Mogadishu, Somalia is basically a lawless country. Sometimes the anarchy and chaos spills into Mogadishu. This is a city where there are literally guns for hire standing across the street from the airport. So yes, that is literally the kind of place where terrorism is "supposed to happen".

Obviously if they'd killed 19 Americans, we would have cared.
