A question about Aidid's son

I was caught by surprise by the ending of THC's show. It mentioned that after Aidid died that his son who trained with the US Marines went back to Somalia, and took his father's place as warlord of the clan.

I had heard that his son was a Marine (or at least trained with them), but this was the first I heard of him becoming the heir to his fathers reign.

Anybody know more about this?
