Default American Forces target al-Shabaab militant in Somalian coastal raid


Anas al-Liby: reported captured.


http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...-westgate-mall



[US forces launched raids in Libya and
Somalia on Saturday,
capturing a top al-Qaida figure wanted
for the 1998 US embassy bombings
in Kenya and Tanzania, but failing
to secure the target in Somalia,
US officials said.
Senior al-Qaida figure Anas al-Liby
was seized in the raid in Libya, but
no militant
was captured in the raid on the Somali
town of Barawe, the officials said,
speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Pentagon confirmed US military
personnel had been involved in
an operation against what it called
"a known al-Shabaab terrorist"
in Somalia, but gave no more details.
One US official, speaking to Reuters
on condition of anonymity, said the
al-Shabaab leader targeted in the
operation was neither captured nor killed.]

That 1998 USA Embassy
in Kenya
was the start
of World Terrorism,
then 9/11, so
tracking those Terrorists
is on going
