U.S. forces take part in 2 Africa raids targeting alleged terrorists
By Barbara Starr and Evan Perez
U.S. military forces were involved in two separate operations in Africa - one of them targeting a member of the group Al-Shabaab that was behind last month's Kenya mall attack, and the other going after an al Qaeda leader tied to bombings of two U.S. embassies.
The Al-Shabaab raid took place in Somalia, where that terrorist group is based, sometime in the past 24 hours, a senior U.S. official said Saturday evening.
The team of U.S. Navy SEALs had to withdraw before it could confirm whether it killed the target because they came under fire, the official said. The SEALs made the "prudent decision" to withdraw rather than engage in further combat, according to the official.
The other mission ended in the capture of Abu Anas al Libi, who is suspected to have played a significant role in the August 7, 1998, bombings of American embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Nairobi, Kenya, U.S. officials said.

somolia black hawk down US forces were fired on by everybody (n i g s) in five minutes...THATS A FACT that surprised US forces then but it should not and its the people of the area that are key because if you are someplace else and those types of people are around you will be dealing with the same issues.
Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you are not understanding anything
fully, but this piece of writing provides nice understanding yet.
Typing any more than nessisary hurts the carple tunnel tendons...it is hard to describe very specific things.about certian people who do have super power abilities themselfs talents that sould be studied as they are and many
deconstructed individuals will provide a referense
send in the drones
Such is to be expected from someone like you with your obvious limitations, jonny. You sound like another run of the mill, ignorant Tea Partier who loves war which means but death and destruction. Are you one?
Calling names again because you can't think of a intelligent comment?
Tell me U.S.M.C. 1371, did you ever any comment on this website any less intelligent than the one posted by this joker above who calls himself jonny? I never did and sending in those ungodly drones never solved any problem except to cause death and destruction for people living over in those countries. It's easy for us Americans to like those curses since they don't effect us in any painful way any many ignorant people here in America do, sadly enough!
Sorry U.S.M.C. 1371, for the misprint above. I meant ".......and many ignorant people here in America do,...", not "......any many ignorant people here in America do,...."
McCarthy do you support terrorists? Just a question.
Yep...alleged terrorists...mastermind of 9/11... its a real head shaker...
Don't forget the 5 dancing Israelis who were filming the attacks on 9/11. They turned out to be Mossad losers.
Obama did not get anyone today and the Gov. is not shut down (more or less).
Why is it that GWB never captured anyone??
Obama seems to be able top get the job done! Even with a government shut down!!! Why?
Bush captured Khalid Sheik Mohammad, you know, the mastermind and financier of the 9/11 attack. Bush also was responsible for capturing or killing several smaller non-state actors, and of course for pushing Mullah Omar and Saddam Hussein out of power (though Omar is still alive and hiding and Saddam of course was strung up.) Then again I guess one could argue that Bush merely gave the orders and our fighting men and women did the real work.
Either way, you have read my posts before Stan, you know I am not a fan of either Bush or Obama. However, anyday we capture or kill a major terrorist/barbarian warlord is a good day and just as much as I feel like Bush and Obama should be held accountable for their terrible decisions, both should also be given credit when it is due, and Obama has done spectacularly in capturing and killing barbarian leaders, yes much better than Bush, but also Bush had some victories himself, don't forget that.
Not to mention that Obama didn't get anyone the seal's did.
The moral of the story is if you attack America, even if it takes a long time, we will eventually get you (granted your own people don't backstab you like they did to Hammami first.)
Zawahiri, White Widow, Zubeyr (if Zubeyr didn't die today), and Marlboro Man, you're next. My bet is Marlboro Man goes down next, he seems to be the least intelligent of the terrorist leaders.
Hmmm.
Well done guys, Thanks again.
