Full report here.

NY Times article here.

‘A Navy SEAL team targeted a senior leader of the Shabab militant group in a raid on his seaside villa in the Somali town of Baraawe on Saturday, American officials said, in response to a deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping mall for which the group had claimed responsibility.’

That war on terror is still going on.  We often have Special Operations and SEAL teams operating in tricky areas.

The fundamental anarchy and lawlessness of Somalia continue to have consequences.
