MOGADISHU, Somalia - The U.S. military killed a man believed to be the head of al-Qaida in Somalia and 10 others in an airstrike overnight, an Islamic insurgent group said Thursday.
The U.S. military confirmed an attack on a suspected al-Qaida target but did not identify the target.
Aden Hashi Ayro was killed when the airstrike struck his house in the central Somali town of Dusamareeb, about 300 miles north of Mogadishu, said Sheik Muqtar Robow, a spokesman for the Islamic al-Shabab militia.
Another commander and seven others were also killed, Robow said. Six more people were wounded, two of whom later died, said resident Abdullahi Nor.
"Our brother martyr Aden Hashi, has received what he was looking for death for the sake of Allah at the hands of the United States," Robow told The Associated Press by phone.
You bet!....next?
Hell, if they are all looking forward to death, let’s get them to circle up in the desert together. We can arrange group travel on an express to paradise.
Yes...it would save time for everyone.
yeah!!! it sucks to be Him!!!
