The Pentagon said Friday that it had confirmed the death of a key Somali militant leader allied with al-Qaeda who had been targeted in a U.S. airstrike earlier this week.
Ahmed Abdi Godane, a co-founder of a network blamed for its brutal tactics in Somalia and for the attack on an upscale Kenyan shopping mall last year, was killed Monday in an attack carried out by U.S. drones and other aircraft, the Pentagon said.

Why should we believe a thing they tell us?
The first winner of the air strike challenge. Next................
Thanks Pentagon ... Screw you zer0!
Did we then quickly dump his body in the ocean so no one can verify anything?
A good start, but we need to kill about 10,000 more to have any serious impact.
I know, they regroup like rats giving birth. Many and often and always stink.
does this mean that al shabab is now shish kabob?
Just happens to coincide with the Clown’s press conference.
I call BS.
Minneapolis in mourning.
We should start the Napalm Challenge for Allah
Re how are they going to confirm Shiskaboob’s death.
Let’s start with a head, hands, wallet/camel-driver’s license, ticket good for 72 virgins, and the final proof, an autographed picture of Obama/Holder.
10,000 more to have any serious impact.
Stop thinking small!
100,000 is a nice round number. Would wipe out Boko Harum, Al Shabab and ISIS/IL plus a whole bunch of the Iranian Guard, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Remember, we are the VARSITY TEAM, and according to Obama, they are only the JV.
Net zero for Zero’s poll numbers. +1 from right leaning responders, -1 for left leaning responders.
That is weird. The headline & link said “Pentagon confirms” but when you actually go to the link, it is changed to say “White House confirms” and later “White House and Pentagon confirms.” Did someone get reprimanded for not giving O credit?
The written words inside of the link have changed three times minimal since posted ... Confirm your information.
Oops, disregard my prior post ... Was not following this link as close as another and my prior post I cannot confirm.
Good thing no one will take his place!
Al shebab - shish kebab
