NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- An Al Qaeda-linked militant group waging war against Somalia's fragile government is becoming an increasing threat to Western ally Kenya and could potentially destabilize the region with dire consequences for global security, officials and analysts warn. Al-Shabab fighters count their bullets in neighborhood of Mogadishu. Al-Shabaab, one of the strongest Islamic militias battling for control of Mogadishu, has gained ground in recent weeks, according to officials, and has started to flex its muscles beyond Somalia's border with terror strikes, kidnappings and recruitment drives. They warn that unless the world takes action the group, which wants to impose an extreme type of Islamic sharia law, could extend its grip across parts of East Africa to gain control of a region that flanks busy shipping routes already plagued by Somali piratesExperts, officials warn of growing threat from Somali militant groupAl-Shabaab is one of strongest Islamic militias battling for MogadishuKenya says danger is to region and world despite threats on Nairobi

ASHLAND, Ohio (CNN) -- An Ohio bakery shut down in October is bustling again, with 60 eager employees who had expected a Christmas on the unemployment rolls. Cookie production has resumed and some workers are back on the job at the Archway factory in Ashland, Ohio. Some 300 workers lost their jobs when the Archway cookie factory in Ashland, Ohio, was suddenly closed by the private equity firm that owned it. The workers also were left without benefits like health insurance. But then Lance Inc., a Charlotte, North Carolina-based snack food company, purchased Archway at a bankruptcy auction. And last week 60 workers were asked to return immediately, with perhaps more coming back in the months ahead.Archway bakery suddenly closed doors in October, throwing some 300 out of workLance snack food company steps in, buys Archway at bankruptcy auctionNew owner gives each laid-off worker a prepaid $1,500 debit cardCompany rehires 60 workers, says more will regain jobs if orders keep coming in

(CNN) Congressional Republicans may move quickly to repeal large chunks of Obamacare, possibly taking a vote as early as January to get rid of the law they universally despise. Sources told CNN that House and Senate GOP leaders are considering a novel and complicated approach to the budget reconciliation process that would allow Congress to act very soon after they are sworn-in in early January to repeal large sections of the Affordable Care Act. While GOP leaders have not settled on this tactic yet, it is one of several strategies being considered, two Senate GOP leadership aides told CNN. Democrats dealing with the issue were skeptical the unique approach would pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian, who plays a major role in deciding what can be done under the complex and highly technical reconciliation rules.Senate Republicans would need 60 votes (and Democratic support) to overcome a filibusterThey would need to get support from at least 8 Democrats to make changes to Obamacare provisions
