Death of a Terrorist

The Washington Post reports that an American Air Raid has killed the alleged mastermind of the Israeli-owned resort in Kenya in 2002. Saleh Ali Nabhan and 3 other suspects were killed and their bodies taken by the US Navy in the second such attacks. It must be noted that the US Military was able to assassinate the founder of Al Shabab Hashi Aden Ayro in 2008.

The Somali-government is battling religious extremists that are linked to Al Qaida. Today’s deadly blow to Al Shabab will help weaken the Al Shabab militia that has already lost public support.
